How about geek jokes?

[markman]

hey, there are some band geeks there (actually a lot), but I for one am NOT one. I am the slacking band guy.

[crptcblade]

Hey, as long as you don't play the xylophone or the slapflute, its all good.

There's nothing geeky about being a musician!!!!

[parksie]

Only if you don't play a brass instrument, right Katie?

[barrk]

They are the best without a doubt but the piano is definitely awesome too!

[parksie]

My first instrument

1 to 9? We had to be up at 7:30 and let out at 10:00 (or when it got dark)

We were also camped up at a crappy university half across the state. I'm glad I'm done with that. Have fun!

I dont do much in Band class... lol

[The Hobo]

I was first chair in regular band and solo tenor sax in jazz band for 2 years. Plus another 5 years of band before that.

and I'll probably never touch a saxophone again.

what a waste...

[barrk]

why don't you do it anymore? Why waste all that effort? Didn't you enjoy it?

and one time, at band camp...

[Cromicus]

I remember band camp. We had to be up by 0600, out of breakfast at 0630, into lunch at 1200 for an hour, then dinner at 1830 for an hour, then sleep at 2200. Everything in between was music. Good times.

[markman]

its not an actual camp. we go there, do band stuff til we cant see the lines anymore (usually 9 or 10) then aere dismissed to go home. Except thats when the fun begins. I didnt sleep the first day (all night at applebees. we filled half the restaurant)

Well, since I'm in college now, I'd have to pay to be in band. Since I'm a poor white boy, I really don't have money. And I supposed I could still play for just a hobby.

Of course it was enjoyable. I loved it. It just seems like it was a dead end road that I kept driving down. But, yeah, when you put it that way, I guess it really wasn't a waste if I had good times.

Well its over. And for the person who said geek = band, take this:
we hooked all our amps up (and we have a good jazz program so there were a bunch of them) and played baby got back and our director break danced.
Pretty sweet



i guess you had to be there, you probably think thats even geekier

Nope Sounds like fun...we've done all the bizarre musical stuff as well that people might think geeky.

Singing off hotel balconies? (as in, everyone on about 7 different balconies, with two of us standing out on the building site conducting )
