Hey! It's me bassist and I'm proud to let you all know that I am a hard core band geek. Yup, I've been playing my clarinet in the Marion Center Marching Band (lovingly called the mean green marching machine) for two years. Is anybody else here at QZ a band geek? Even if you're not as far gone as me. I even enjoy that stupid "brand" of humour us band geeks have. I'm such a total nurd about it too. |

Yeah, me. I used to be in a brass band, a brass ensemble and finally I was let into the London Symphony Orchestra..then kicked out. Everything up to the brass ensemble is true. |

I play flute in a marching band. I love it :D I'm also in a kind of wind instrument orchestra (don't know the word but it's not a marching band) for all kids in the country. I'm totally a band geek. |
| bassist08 20.02.2005 15:38 |
Yeah!! I'm not alone anymore!!! Actually I have a lot of friends that are band geeks as well. And we all hang in the band room constantly heck people even associate us with the band room now. we're so pathetic. but we're happy. :P |

I'm a choir geek if that counts for something. I WANTED to be a band geek and play clarinet but my mom wouldn't let me. As far as choirs, I've been in them since the age of 12. Currently, I'm active in my school's Honour's Madrigal Chamber Choir Concert Choir Mixed Chorus I would be in more, but I don't like any of the other choirs. |
| QueensQueenieII 20.02.2005 23:24 |
I was a total choir geek in college. We hated those band geeks. . . the bastards!! We were so much cooler singing the mozart and the handel. . . |

I was a band geek in middle school. (I still play piano and clarinet) Now I'm a choir geek. |

I think anyone that has the talent to play a musical instrument muchless, make awesome formations while playing a musical instrument is nothing BUT talented....to say the least. Wow that was a huge run on sentence. Oh well...it needed to be said without pause. so kudos to you. I wish I had as much talent as you do. I can barely walk a straight line!!! Be proud!!!!!! ;) |

| MetzgerR 21.02.2005 06:31 |
Hm...not a band geek exactly, and I don't play skinflute... But I am a complete orchdork, and I play viola. Does that count, kinda? Ja ne! |

My son is a senior in high school and he has proudly played the tenor sax in the marching band since 9th grade, and in woodwind ensemble in the winter months. Next month his band is marching at Disney in Florida. :-) |
| iGSM 21.02.2005 06:42 |
No! BANNED! I mean yes. |

Once upon a time I played the French horn. I still drag it out on occasion. Now I'm a chorus geek. And at my school, the chorus geeks are the biggest geeks in the school. No one is in second place. We thik it's something in the water. |
| Zander05 21.02.2005 18:16 |
Choir and band geeks in my school get along quite well. It also helps that some band geeks are in choir. In fact, every year for my choir's spring concert, we join forces on the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's 'Messiah.' Good times! |
| SergeantPepperDG 21.02.2005 21:08 |
I'm a loner band geek. Cause I'm not actually in the school band. I take private piano lessons. I'm hoping that when I get to high school, they need a pianist in the orchestra. I doubt it though. |

I think it's cool to be a band geek. Other kids here are computer nerds and that's much worse! -Ægishjálmur |

I'm a band geek :P I play percussion in a marching band, or some kind of band. You know, both brass and woodwind instruments ;) But I think I can't get into any band with my main instrument ;) There aren't many bands with a piano! |
| shanemcd 15.11.2005 20:33 |
I was in one when I was between the ages 10-12. I played Trumpet and Baritone. Very enjoyable, but looking back, the music we had to play was very unusual. I still remember the fingerings on the trumpet but havent played since then. |
| Yogurt 19.11.2005 14:24 |
I'm a band geek! I play piano, a little bit of guitar, clarinet, and I sing! |
