Who else is a band geek? I'm a huge one and I'm damn proud of it. I have 'I cant turn you loose' as a ringtone on my cellphone which is a song we played for our show last year and I played it for our director and he just laughed and called me a nerd.
I play the Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Trumpet, and I'm learning the Sousaphone for marching season next year. I've played the clarinet since 1st grade, Bass Clarinet for 5-6 years I think, and the Trumpet for under a year. I learned the trumpet because I didn't want to march with the suprano clarinet, and I did pretty well considering I learned it over the summer. My band director didnt believe I learned it over the summer.
Well, our band is going to be short a few tubas next year because a few are graduating this year so I was like heck, why not. I just borrowed a sousaphone from the school and bought a new mouthpiece today and I'm fooling around with it. It's pretty heavy, and playing it makes my face tingle. The mouthpiece is HUGE compared to the trumpet.
So who else is a complete band nerd?
I also play guitar but thats not really a band instrument.. well, atleast it's not a wind instrument. Thats what, 5 instruments?

... oh BTW I'm a huge one, marched 1st trumpet this past season my last year 
. I go to Southern Regional High School, if you know TOB then you've probably heard of us. I'm planing on auditioning for The Cadets next year. I auditioned two years ago and got a 2- for trumpet and that was after a year of marching baritone for my highschool band. I love the trumpet and as a matter of fact I have mine sitting next to me right now =D!
