You wear your concert attire to homecoming.

You are friends with the incoming freshmen band members.[ YES!!!!]

Your reed budget is higher than your food budget.

When you cut class, you go to the band room.[ I haven’t ever cut class, although if I were to, I’d probably go to the band room…. Wait, *using the force* you never read this!!!!]

You know all the cheerleaders cheers. [yes, we ALL do]

You're the only one who shows up for pep band.

You don't take "double tonguing" as a dirty joke.

You know "panache" is a feather.

You conduct in the shower.

You can tune a tenor sax.

You shed tears during Hail Liberty.

You sit in class and start to finger notes on your pencil. [ I have gotten a lot of weird stares from doing this]

You double tongue in the halls.

You get upset while driving because your windshield wipers aren't in time with the radio. [once, you notice it, it's amazing how annoying it can get!]

When you fight for a sports locker, and say "Band is too a sport!" along with the cheerleaders. [I don’t need to; we have our own lockers that are bigger than theirs. So big, in fact, that we have a tradition of locking freshman in them. You know as a freshman that you have been accepted into the band once you have been forced into a locker and it has been locked. Sadly, my upperclassmen forgot the combo to the lock they used and the band director wasn’t happy about having to go find his key to get me out of the baritone locker.]

Everything on this list describes you to a T.
