I wasn't a Band Geek, but rather, a Choir Nerd. Still am, occasionally for church. Or late-night backup warbling for musician friends in neighborhood bars.....
Ahhh, the Dichotomy of Me.
(Suddenly I hear "Subdivisions" ringing in my brain...)

I was a band geek. I played the flute for many years. My daughter has it now and I will be teaching her how to play it within the year

I never was a band geek (homeschooling doesn't always offer that course), but I was raised by one, who was also in the marching band at her highschool. So we had a record or two of Marching band music to do the housework by.

As mentioned earlier our music instructor never had a drummer in our student band. I desperately wanted to do it but, alas, a tight-faced Ms Smith was in no mood to have proper percussion in the band.
She always was kind of crusty. Not in a gentle crustiness that personified my paternal grandfather, but Ms Smith (yes, that was her name) was crusty right to her core.
I was never one in the "in-crowd" thing. That was, until it was discovered that I played drums. Suddenly everyone wanted to be my best friend. Bah. Nothing had changed about me, just their perception.
I should have enjoyed it. But I didn't. Frankly, it made me angry. Really cheesed me off.
But that's a whole other thread.

I was a chorus/theory nerd but played percussion in bands and orchestras, so I was an "all-around" music geek. I had a band in HS and we played classic rock (Zep, Rush, Floyd, Bad co., The Who, Joan Jett, The Stones, etc), so that made me feel cooler.
I too played and still play most of my music in church. As a "music director" I'm at all the marching band competitions as well as chorus, orchestra, band and jazz concerts. I love music but sometimes wish the music in my head would JUST STOP. ...just for a little while.

Wow, flashback Bagel!...my Dad used to wake us up on Saturdays with John Phillips Sousa blasting over the old phonograph! Made for a rude awakening, ala Ren & Stimpy or the Foghorn Leghorn one where he grabs the dog by the tail and beats him on the behind with a 2x4!!!

That's a great scene! I love it. Funny as heck!
Bagel, you like spicy? Add some Tabasco to that hot chocolate on a cold day. That's how it was meant to be drank-ask the ancient peoples.
On that note there is a Mexican dish: Chicken with spicy chocolate (sauce). Very different.

When I 1st started band I already knew how to read music-my Mom was a percussionist in Women's Symphony. I was the only drummer and all I had was my Mom's old snare drum. The band director wouldn't let me play it, because he wanted me to keep everyone else in time. I had to play the bass drum part---only there was no bass drum. He made me play a cardboard box with one of my snare sticks
