Know You're A Band Geek When... (provided courtesy of Shawn Thompson, Sr. '83) |
| You know
you're a band geek when... |
- You're walking
behind someone and you're in step with them.
- The band room is
your second home. It is your home if you've got it bad.
- You always start
off on the left foot.
- You've seen "Mr.Holland's
Opus" 26 times.
- You've never ever
sat in your class section at a pep rally because you're playing.
- You can measure
5 yards without a ruler - all you need is to count your steps while
you're walking.
- You can stand absolutely
still, staring at the wall, for 15 minutes straight.
- You don't take
"double tounging" as a dirty joke.
- You can identify
any instrument and who it belongs to by it's case.
- You can scale the
stadium seats with ease, but you trip on the stairs in your house.
- You can walk up
to anyone in band and fix any part of their uniform without saying anything
other than giving them your instrument and saying, "Hold this."
- There are specific
dances needed for certain cadences, cheers, and fight songs.
- You have a farmer's
tan from the last band camp.
- You lose your voice
from screaming at competitions.
- At least one of
the pictures in your room is of you in a band uniform.
- The stands next
to the band are reserved, too. For the band parents.
- The cheerleaders
only talk to you when they are trying to sell something.
- Playing through
a rehearsal when it's 100 degrees outside with 90% humidity? Not a problem.
- You've pondered
who would win in a band vs. football team fight. (Hmm, 160 band members
with instruments vs. football players. Let's see.)
- When you consider
the band banquet prom, until you actually get to go to prom.
