*when u've heard that we're getting new uniforms every year and u still have the same disgusting uniform

When you use the band warm ups for all exercise stretches. When your CD collection begins to consist more of Ballads than other popular radio artists.
When you notice your movements, and breaths have more snap than before. When you cannot help but to notice the key in all music. When you notice you slouch less. When everything seems lighter in weight.

...when turn signals irritate you that they're not synchronized.
when you've had "gulp'n'go"'s.
when you can't remember your locker combination, but everything from any given year's show.
when you hear one of your showtunes on the radio and play your air instrument along.
when "finger your parts" is totally acceptable for your director to say.
when you're afraid that the tubas are lurking behind the corner.
when you know how to blow hard and finger fast.
when you didn't even find that last sentence awkward.
when each section has their own personalities. (trumpets=egotistical, tubas=mischievous and funny, trombones=dorky; flutes=competitive, snobby, and girly...)

Hah we have 2, the drum closet and the door to the auditorium.

We had one we called the p***s set....it was 2 circles with a line inbetween them. Sort of like this... olo
Haha. The first time we set it up and the 2 instructors on the podium started cracking up.

my freshman year, we had a heart shaped one that was really retarded, and one of my friends and i referred to it as the p***s set. it looked kinda like your lovely diagram, but they flowed together. so when we had to run back to it, my friend would ask which set. and i would say "set 9." *gets odd look* "*sigh* the retarded p***s-heart set"

Oh boy. So many of those didn't even apply to me, because our school is too poor. There is no music wing at our school, and band camp is a day camp. That ruled out about 20 of those.

* When having the second-oldest uniforms in the state doesn't bother you anymore, because you know your going to end up wearing 'Old, Red, and Moldy' for another season...

*When Solo/Ensemble is actually a fun time for you, because you're a building lead, and you get to talk on the microphone, calling for 'God' meaning the band director.

*When you and your friends are the one that came up with the names and called on the radio saying 'permission to use codenames to screw with solists' and 'god' replies with 'permission granted'.

*When the term 'Gush and Go' doesn't sound weird to you.

*When bandcamp just can't come soon enough.

*When you start designing next year's band t-shirt before the marching season is over.

***When almost everyone in the band wants to play a show modeled after Guitar Hero.

***applies to THS band only. Inside joke.

I was responsible for one of our school's many Dr. Beat's destructions. Our section stole it and just beat the crap out of it. Good times. It was recorded and put on our band video, and our director was like, "So that's where it went..."

But the instrument thing, I haven't stayed on the same instrument for more than a season.

Mello-Baritone-Sousa!
dude, that's awesome. a chick who plays sousaphone!!!

I know a girl who's gonna play contra next year.
Yay, Jazzy

You know your a band nerd when....

~ You think your bibbers make you look sexy
~ You close your eyes in math class and see Marching Bands (especially yours)
~The opponents song becomes taboo
~You comment on other bands plumes rather than their marching (LOL, Buchholz and their dead canaries)
~You look like Jesus just to screw with the competition (band specific)
~You always step off on your left foot
~When people make fun of the way you walk, you start marching
~You don't mind making out with your brass instrument
~Your battle cry is "DON'T SUCK!!" (band specific)
~You find yourself conducting to the music on your iPod
~You dance along with the cheerleaders when you don't have to play
~The test you're most worried about this week is your scale test
~Sagul = Insult (Band Specific)

You know your a band geek when the thought of living in the band room actually seems like a reasonable option.

Hahah. Yes Most of those are true for my friends and I.

-Specific to my band and I-

You know you're a band geek when you're a freshman and you go to a middle school band concert and pick your Freshman out from the 6th grade band members, and begin planning his "Freshmen Initiation"

twisted muuwaahaha!! twisted

Haha, I relate to way too many of those. My locker has tons of clothes left over from marching season too.

You also know your a band geek when:

Helping undress eachother doesn't seem like a big deal.

You like watching the moive "Drumline"

You spend more time at the band hall than you do at home. (haha, moi)

When you listen to songs you focus on the music more than the actual lyrics.

You enjoy staying after shcool and practicing, either by yourself or with a fellow band member.

You get up extra early to be out on the marching field first.

You get up early and find yourself sleeping in the band hall or outside of it. (and yes I have done such things)

There's others but those are jsut ones I thought of on the spot.
