I'm a Sousaphone/Tuba(/Trombone in Jazz) and can say that many of these are relatable. Where I am, the target section is the flutes. They call themselves trash for us!

Last year our show was Dead Men Tell No Tales. So we had this plastic skeleton we hauled around during competitions. Once me and my friends actually dressed the skeleton in full band attire. Funniest thing ever!

I can relate to most of this, Iv'e only been in marching band since September last year. I didnt go to band camp, but ive heard it sucks. Iv'e been in 2 DIFFERENT Marching bands. AH$ and VCH$, and putting everything thats happend between the two, I can totally relate to this. I play Baritone T.C. for concert band, played Trumpet for marching season. Anyone who knows about the Vista Murrieta HIgh School Band Competition coming up: I wish you luq. VCHS ROCKS!

Woop! Flute players! *High five*
152. You and your band friends start chanting band chants/tapping cadence rhythms in the middle of class.
^^ Anybody else? We practically had a band flash mob during English one day...most amazing thing ever.

I can really Relate!! omg
maybe a bit more to add, but I'll be rambling
& Even though I'm fairly new to marching band
and also, being a Super Freshie (8th Grader),
I've already have inside jokes, talk about Marching Band nonstop, and I may have a crush on my (Half) Section leader
our band is small (just about 20 people, most quit.. mind you)
and so our Sections are weirdly mashed
Meaning I'm in the Pit AND Percussion.
(We have 2 drummers, including me. but i'm not there all the time so mostly just one drummer)
( ps note: Our school is AHS in MS)
I also have the nicknames of Crash Girl (Playing Cymbals), Hippie Coffee Girl (Spilled Frape on my UNIFORM right before a competition, smelling like coffee and my trumpet player friend knows that i'm a hippie. Also, I give "Coffee" hugs. Meaning, y'know, i give hugs. I smelt like coffee x3), Potato (Racial inside joke), Super Freshie (8th Grader), & Maddy (Because my gay friend couldn't figure out my name so i told him to call me that.
btw, Super Freshies are our Drum Majors bbys
we get the love<333

16 happened to me. People were even laughing at me! So I just gave them the death glare. Marching backwards while other bands are watching you is so stressful. But I half to admit I love marching band.

In my band, we try and kill one of the two section leaders of the trumpets, for a very good reason.

These all apply to me. and one time we were in the band room for practice and we were doing a song that required vigorous conducting and when the band director lifted the baton up it flew out of her hand and attacked me.

* you say music jokes and expect them to get laughs from everyone
* you've laughed whenever someone said ""if a piano fell on you you would Bb" or some other music joke
* you want to sleep in your band uniform
* you conduct to music on the radio
* you know which key a song on the radio is
* you can add to this list
(violin player, keyboard player, percussionist, ocarina player, and triangle player since i was 8 and proud of it! and can you add some that would relate to all members of orchestra too? thanks)

I can relate to all of these, I'm a French Horn (Melaphone during marching session) and FBHS high school in GA, but I think these could be added:
*You lost your mouth piece, pretended to play through practice and then found it in the band room when you came back
*Your band director say one more time twenty times before s/he lets you get water
*You flock to those that have food, water or a fan

My concert flute is Abigail and my marching flute is Amy. :3 They're both Armstrong, so I decided on something that started with A.

Oh, I am most certainly a band geek! :3
Our band camp starts tomorrow and I'm quite excited (but also super nervous, as I was selected as drum major this year and I don't know what I'm going...) But I can't wait to see all my band friends again!

I'm excited for you. My band camp ended Friday, so I'm currently in a period of depression, but when you consider that it was the largest gathering of my species (band and orchestra nerds) in CT, you can understand.

That's cool!
Our band camp is a bit boring. It's just our school, and we don't go anywhere. But so far so good! My first two days of conducting have gone well!

Nah, my conducting skills are certainly nothing to write home about. :b
But yeah. I really am enjoying getting to be a drum major. It's completely different, and there's all kinds of responsibilities I never even imagined! I just hope I'm doing a good job of it. x3
Have you tried out for leadership positions?

Just keep trying and I'm sure you'll get better.
And no, not in band at lest. I'm more of an orchestra kid, since I only play the jimbe and other african drums and the other instrument I play, the ocarina, is rarely found in a band.

And that's interesting. It's always cool to find people who play instruments on the more unique side.
