Welcome to Gaia! ::

I get a facial tick when I hear the Dr. Beat... My comcert band couldn't play at a steady tempo, so my director hooked it up to the long ranger (speaker...supposed to be used outdoors) and turned it up as loud as it would go....inside...

You know you're a band geek when all the stories of illegal stuff you did as a kid comes from band parties. (Heehee-- I love my section.)

eek

Um, what?

MR. P hooks up the long ranger all the time...and he's in love with the met.

I can actually say yes to almost all of those non-band-specific things...I absolutely CANNOT walk out of step with the person next to me, and I was walking with some drama peoples who found this hilarious and tortured me by not taking a steady tempo or step size.

Here are some more:
mrgreen Stairs have to be even. If they're generous, in sets of eight. 23 is just an evilevilevil number for stairs...
mrgreen you don't randomly start marching while going somewhere...you've been doing it the whole time
mrgreen You can't walk backwards, you have to march it
mrgreen you get confused when people drop you off at the front of the school, because to you, the front is the one closest to the band room
mrgreen The band room is your locker
mrgreen any class on the other side of the school is most definitely not worth going to, and you can't make it anyway because you visit the band room during passing time
mrgreen the smell of sunscreen makes you think of marching band camp
mrgreen the first few days of band camp, you have finger tanlines from the horns up position before holding your horn
mrgreen if people ask you what you're doing that summer, you enthusiastically reply BAND CAMP!
mrgreen You look forward to hauling butt across the field for twelve hours a day and wish it lasted longer than a week and a half
mrgreen You know every change made in the uniforms since the school began
mrgreen in any coloring book, the toy soldiers are colored like your uniform


heart I love band! YAY nerdiness!

Wow...

-when your school lockers are your band lockers
-when you become very nervous every time you hear clapping(thats how commands are given)
-when you get upset when your friends outside of band have no idea that you knew the group of band geeks that always sit in that corner
-when you hum your band show enough times to get members of your family very annoyed... and humming it too

-when the highest you usually count is to the number 4
-when you think of the baton as a dangerous weapon, especially if you are in the first row
-you dont remember what your schedule is because you are always skipping to go "pratice" in the band room

You know you're a Band Nerd when....

+You actually hang out with people outside of band and think to yourself, "This feels wrong for some reason."

+Your brothers tease you by taking uneven steps durring marching season.

+You're constantly found saying, "I can't, I have band."

+You can't date anyone in theband simply because you've speant so much time with them, and have seen them on the "Band Bus."
