Hmm. I have WAY to much free time on my hands. It must be the off season. I always enjoy reading these lists, so I decided to make one of my own!

You know you're a band kid when…

…You automatically walk in step with those around you.

…You are irritated by your schools lack of rhythm. (oh my gosh, my school couldn't clap in time to save their life!)

…Your only response to the phrase "I'm taking off my pants!" is to begin singing The Stripper Song.

…You have used the phrase "This one time at band camp…"

…You have fallen asleep on the Band Bus.

…You have fallen asleep using someone else as a pillow.

…You have a favorite hangout at every competition location.

…You have (in a brief moment of insanity) made plans to throw next years competition just so you can go hang out in that spot.

…The Best Bathroom Ever was discovered at a competition.

…You have pictures of you in that bathroom.

…You considered going to that collage just so you could use that bathroom.

...Your drummer boyfriend purposely walks out of step with you just to drive you crazy.

…You only feel comfortable doing…stuff with said boyfriend in the band room.

…You know the love life of everyone in band.

... Everyone in the band knows YOUR love life.

…Including the director.

…He thinks it's cute.

...You roll step while you drink so you don't spill.

...Your parents are on the hit list for taking you on vacation during the season.

...You feel lonely if you are the only band kid in one of your classes, even if you have other friends that aren't band kids with you.

...Everyone in that class knows you are "The Band Kid," and thus excuses your need to relate everything back to band.

...Your teachers let you leave class early to go hang out in the band room when you finish tests early.

...You have a nickname for your director.

...The director knows your little brother/sisters name, instrument, and when they will enter high school.

...You feel like a cast member of Cheers whenever you enter the band room.

…You're with your section more than your family.

..You have pictures suitable for blackmail of every band member.

…You don't care about the pictures they have of you because everyone has already seen them anyways.

…Stripping in front of band kids doesn't seem awkward any more.

…You have written on your shelf.

…You have tried to sleep in your shelf.

…Some of your favorite songs are from pep band.

…You have sung your part to the show with dynamics.

…Every guy you've considered dating is in band.

…You only ever sleep over at band kid's houses.

…You count your steps, in either 6 or 8, depending on your mood.

…Yeah. I may add more, depending on how soon I get my life (band) back. Parade season! Yay!
