OFFICIAL BAND NERD!

I'm the official band nerd. My whole life revolves around band, and the many instruments I play. On this blog, you'll see my life. Beware, my mind is a scary thing.

Saxophone Problems

When the spit builds up, and it starts leaking through the keyholes, but you really don't want to suck it back up because that's just disgusting.

Mellophone Problems

When you have been playing another instrument for years, and they suddenly put you on a mellophone for marching band season.

Band Problems

When marching season is over.

Saxophone Problems

Because saxophone players think they’re cool if they just add a pair of shades. Too bad their dreams will be crushed when they find out otherwise. Trust me, it WILL happen.

Piccolo Problems

When the band director picks YOU out of the flute section to play piccolo, and he takes you into the back to pick out which piccolo you want, but you can't decide because they're all so small and cute.

Bae, or nah? Yes, or yes?

Band Camp Problems

When your director says,"One more time," and it's the tenth time he's said that in a row.

Piccolo Perks

When you can fit your piccolo into your pocket to protect it from the weather with no problem because it's so small.

[19ewilkerson]

Saxophone Perks

When you can fit your cell phone, drill sheets, and set sheets into your bell while on the practice field during band camp.

Piccolo Problems

When no one else appreciates the sound of the piccolo.

[19ewilkerson]

Flute/Piccolo Problems

When no one else understands the struggle of your flute/piccolo angles, especially during hip switches and horn movements.

[19ewilkerson]

Band Problems

When the director says that marching isn't that hard to do because he was in pit when he was in band.

[19ewilkerson]

Band Camp Problems

When the director says to get set for the millionth time, and says you shouldn't be complaining because it's ONLY been five or so hours since your last break, and you can totally wait one more hour until you go home.

Band Perks

When you're at your choir concert, and a heel breaks, you think you're going to die. But thankfully you can just waltz into the band room, and grab some comfortable marching shoes. This way, you don't get a bad grade for improper concert attire.

As a fellow flute/piccolo player, I understand the struggle.

Band Crushes

When you have a major crush on a fellow marcher during band camp, and you know they're taken, and so you've got to bear it at least until marching season is over.
