Most band people who don't live in Plano (city where I live) call themselves band geeks. I think that's more common than band nerd....but whatever, I'm too used to band nerd. =)

Ah, I know what you mean about the lowest class! In 7th grade, I was first chair for a while...we had three bands, and I was okay with it. 8th grade, though, we had to cut down to two bands. My BD promised me that if I did solo/ensemble, tried out for all-city and did well, blah blah, I'd get in the highest band. But, when I did that...he told me that I was good, but there was no room in the highest band. -__- I was first chair all year...it was the worst year I ever had in band. We got one decent piece, for about four days...and when our BD found out that more than half the band was upset because the piece was actually HARD...he threw that one away and pulled out something easy.
Gah. That really sucked.

Yeah, it gets sad and lonely...all of my friends were in a higher band. I was stuck with a bunch of people who were upset about notes that were above the staff. -__- But don't worry. Band is always fun during marching season, no matter what band you're in. ^.^

its just become a bit of a pet peeve, like color guard and their "spin, not twirl" :rolleyes"

thats the exact same thing here, except with 9th and 10th grades...well, kind of. we have 3 bands, and while i was ok last year, this year we had a surpluss of clarinets, and i kind of suck, so everyone else moved up and im stuck with a bunch of freshmen (not even the cool ones) and stupid people. at the beginning of the year, i wasnt used to first part, so there were notes id never needed to play before, and admittedly i couldnt play one of the first songs they gave us at all, but the rest were fairly easy, and ive improved a ton, and yet i still cant move up because they hate me and the numbers dont allow it.

yeah, marching season is good, so that i get to be with all my top band friends and not compail too much ;]
