Trombone: players are nerdies, but usually really smart, and on some occasions, very sweet.
The instrument to make fun of. Eg: Tell Bobbert he has a mini tromboner!!!
And especially when they grease their 'slides' and you twist the 'Conn' (aka the spinny thing in the middle'
Players are the best kissers?
Tenor Saxophones: Can overpower Altos. They are overpowered by Baris.
Can be identified by it's curvy-er neck.
Tenor sax players that overplay the Altos should play the Alto (especially in Jazz Band) for the band's sake.
Clarinet: Does it in three registers.
Floutists: Either preppy or emo.
Trumpeters: There's someone better than me? WHAT PLANET DO YOU LIVE ON?
Tuba: Can over power the rest of the band (not including percussion) when they can play their instrument right.
Bass Drummer: The Bisexual of the band. If a boy, likes smacking other's you know whats, because they get plenty of practice.
Rallentando: The thing that is not in a band nerd's dictionary.
Fingering: Combinations of buttons and keys pressed on an instrument, or there's another definition.
1, 2, 3, 4: The only thing an unworthy band nerd would know if someone said "4-4 time, everyone! Not 5 beats a measure! We're not playing Mission Impossible!!!!" Note, see Mission Impossible.
Rump Involuntary: The alternate title to "Trumpet Voluntary"
Bringer o' Jo: The alternate title to Bringer of Joy.
Alternate name for a trombone player that works at a coffee shop.
Mission Possible: The most difficult song, re rendering of Mission Impossible.
Band Relationships: Amazing when they're together, but we are in heck when they break up! I want to quit band now!
Apples to Apples: A amazingly fun game that band nerds play after the spring concert in band class.
See 'Helen Keller'

pianissimo- Something small boy floutists have xD
And this is something that the majority of my band is.
Palotters- (fusion of the words plays alot) Someone who learns many instruments but isn't really that good at any of them. Someone who basically plays that instrument if needed only by bd or just bored.

Female Trumpet Player: (me!!) Practices often, trying to destroy the stereotype that has been thrusted upon her section. Described as a hard worker, also as a tom-boy. She is often upset because she didn't make the wrestling team because that would be 'too wierd'.
Male Trumpet Player: Someone who enjoys poking the above, throwing spit wads, and just being obnoxious in one way or another. A good one is only obnoxious outside of band and during a break, a bad one is just annoying all the time. Often perverted.
Metronome: The bane of all musicians. "I have to play it THAT FAST!!!!" Often a helpful tool to annoy siblings with.
Vibraphone: What the percussion section hides under when they've done something stupid. Is forbiden to touch by none percussionists. Seriously, they go A-wall on you.
Clarinetists: See fun-loving

Baritone Saxophone "bari": The Tuba of the woodwind section, very deep and often mistaken for a tuba, the baritone sax is the most elusive and largest of the saxophone family, a formidable weapon, it is the only saxophone with a spit valve and an extra key it is the only known saxophone that can be louder and more annoying then the tuba and trumpets combined, the baritone sax is only playable by the elite few and all others who try end up dying from lack of air or end up getting locked inside the bari sax case by angry baritone saxophone players who caught them messing with their precious "bari" sax instrument.

One more time: Five more times
Forte: one of the only dynamics that the brass can play
Fortissimo: favorite dynamic of the brass section; also where brass players try to play louder than the guy next to him/her
