oh man, the nerds in my marching band are psychotic, i swear. some examples:
*for one thing, they get mad if you call them nerds (they prefer the term "geeks").
*i'm new to the band, so they make all these band geek jokes that are apparently hilarious, but i don't get them.
*there isn't a single one (other than newbs) that doesn't know "tribute", a song by tenacious d. it's a weird song.
*the percussionists are all perverts. every last one.
*we get personalized shirts that differ for each section. our section's shirts have written on the back "we'll play however we want to play, gosh!". last year the sax's had "every time we march, god kills a kitten". and the baritones almost had "i'm a baratone, blow me!" but it was rejected for inappropriateness.
*we make the teacher, mr. eder, do push-ups whenever he makes a mistake and messes us up.
*my brother, the trombone player, the football guy, the over-6-feet-tall-man, the mean scary one-has been nicknamed "fairy princess".
weirdos...
