TX Suh-nare Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 If you actually take the time to jog to your band director's house, FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER! Dude, you ain't a band nerd, you are just messed up in the head! Quote

Keyboard_Countessa Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 --when the BD tells you that we won't be going to a drumline contest this year b/c it's the same day as homecoming and the only way we could go was if we all met at the band hall at 5 a.m., and you're disappointed -- ...until you realize that you can still go as a spectator Quote

MissSpringbassliner Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 ~When you play the opener on the steering wheel to the beat of the blinker ~When you invite your director to a dance party ~When you cram 5 ppl into the back seat of a car so that your drum can be safe in the front seat ~After you "maul" someone w/ your drum, you check to see if the drum is ok first ~When you spend free time figuring out how to make songs and cool beats with a metronome ~When ever you hang out w/ your best friend you both randomly bust out singing parts of the show ~If you have ever spent the night at the band hall because you thought it would just be easier ( it wasn't me ) ~If you say to the ppl ( who are not in band ) that tap their pencils in class, "way to rush!"

cymbelle Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 - when your marching shoes are part of your evacuee necessities... - when you call your band director after getting back in town from evacuating to find out when we are going to have practice... - when you listen for the instrumentation in movies and totally get lost in the plot because you are listening for the awesome horn lick once again. - when you are humming/whistling your show as you walk through the halls of your school and look over and see a fellow band nerd directing and walking in time to the part you are singing... - when you have no clue what the final score of the football game is, but you sure know how many times the other band played "Land of 1000 Dances" - When you know the name of your band director's dog - When you consider eating lunch in a practice room a much better option than the cafeteria. - When you can't fall asleep because you are so anxious about marching season... and its Febuary. - When you buy the "I'm with the band" shirt and never even consider for a second that it isn't meaning high school marching band. - when it looks like you have white golves on constantly from a cymbal glove tan... I know what you are thinking.... its so hot.... i know... - when you have a set plan for what band you will seek out when break ranks is called. -when watching tv you think, "ooo i could make that into a really cool cymbal visual!" - when you consider dating a fellow section member as incest... - when you look over in the stands and your mom is doing the stand dances with all the other moms to "iron man". - when your six year old sister walks around the house singing the school fight song - when you try to get out of your classes so you can go to the band hall to end up just sitting there listening to fifth band play... eek... - when your band director posts on your my space - when your little sister draws a family portrait at school and when you inquire as to why you aren't included she replies, "oh, you are at band" <--(true story my friends... so sad) - when you can't wait to wake up at 2 am to go to a band contest in another city, once done with that one to go to another contest back home, go back again for finals and come home finally at 3 am the next day... man, i cant wait. really. -when a band contest is suddenly much more important than taking your SAT. - when watching "Remember the Titans" or "Friday Night Lights" for the first time you got really excited and yelled "whooo!!! go band" anytime a clip or shot of the band was shown... come on... i know you did it. - when you rember going to marching contests when you were four... now that is generational band nerdiness... - when you start to get frustrated when second quarter goes long and you wish they would hurry up and finish up with the football so you can go march already.

xredsummersunx Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 : When you sing along to the pit warm-ups : When you go through the day humming band music : When you start figuring out the counts for your favorite songs on the radio : When you give up 14 hours of your summer to go paint the bandhall/constuct the entire percussion room full of cabinets : When you hear metronomes in your sleep : When you go to a parade and are sitting there waiting (TX independence day...was anyone else there) and the tubas start playing "Hey! Baby!" and suddenly all the rest of the brass join in. Quote

I<3thebox Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 oh my, when you have DREAMS about marching band. 1) I went to sleep and forgot I was chewing gum. I had a dream that I had eaten those little granules of fake rubber dirt from Astroturf, so in my dream I spit them out. I wake up and find gum all over my pillow (luckily not my face) ewwwww 2) That night at the football game I had gotten set facing the wrong way (when you have a bass drum on its hard to see ok?) and then I could only sleep on one side, cuz I was worried of being set the wrong way- THAT was annoying 3) my friend who plays a WOODWIND instrument, on Spring trip he had Spin Cycle as his ringtone, and we had to wake up at 7 or something for breakfast and he used his phone as an alarm clock. Unfortunately for him, he had a dream where he was playing with the Cavies (which I found interesting seeing that hes a woodwind) needless to say, when he heard the ringtone, he didnt wake up cuz he thought he was playing the show. OH WOW GOODNESS we ARE NERDS Quote
I<3thebox Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 oh and when you hear the metronome in your sleep, or just randomly during the day. Or you hear music randomly too Quote

VRHSRangerTBone Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 When all you have on your MP3 player are shows that were downloaded off of either TxBands.com or Skramps. I love blasting different shows in my truck! People look at me like I'm crazy! Quote
bored2damax Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 I didnt know you can keep the songs in your computer? Quote
Clarinot Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 Yeah right click either on the arrow next to the show or on the download button on the listing page and click 'save target as...' Quote
TRtrumpet Posted October 24, 2005 Author Posted October 24, 2005 When you know the show music on two different instroments. Quote
chickora Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 - when you get agree at a person who is trying to show off and is not using the right articulation - when you know all the actual tongueing excercizes by memory - when you joke about marrying your instrument, or even suggest that he/she is the love of you life. (don't ask) - when you only have crushes on band people(probaly already stated, but that I would point that out again) -------- Kool, eh? Quote
harrellp Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 -when you have nothing to do in class,so the only and most brilliant idea in the world is to take 45 minutes composing the trumpet swing jazz etude on your cellphone...and use it as your primary ringtone -when you yell at your non-band friends to lower the third in the 1-3-5 chord while singing "barbara ann", and never once realize they have no frikin clue what you are talking about. -when you sign up for one of these forums -when all 4 of your trumpets were the first things you put in your car during the hurricane rita evacuation -when you get mad at non-band people for liking the movie Drumline -when you get mad at all the beginner band students wanting to be a percussionist... because of said movie -when you find a hot chick in band to be that much more uniquely hot... because they are in fact a hot chick in band...(no offense to the general female band population...) -when you reconsider dating someone... because they're in your section -when your elected homecoming king or queen... because band holds ALL political power -when you listen to a 'the mars volta' song and think "this would be awesome as a marching show".
