An Unspoken Rule That Is Now Spoken.

Okay. This is a [very pathetic] thing that has irked me for quite sometime. You cannot call yourself a band geek and have that be it. Especially if you have little to no musical talent. It's like me calling myself a math nerd because I'm in two classes of it (don't even ask why), yet suck majorly. You have to let yourself earn the title. So adding a Facebook bumper sticker stating "BAND GEEK AND PROUD" is bad for many reasons.

Reason One (as stated above):
You are not a band geek until you do something other than proclaim it and take your clarinet home every weekened to [not] practice.

Reason Two (as not stated above):
Calling yourself a band geek gives a negative stigma to those of us that are and don't blow about it.

Reason Three (as stated below):
Actions speak louder than words. So can it, shut off the computer/GameBoy, and learn how to play some eighth notes.
