Everyone loves to get down in the crowd to their band playing songs right? Like LSU with Neck.. that shite is awesome. Without the band you couldn't do this... but aren't these kids still labeled as nerds??
I don't know it just got me thinking.. I played the sax for three years but quit after 9th grade because I thought band was too nerdy and I didn't want that label in high school. If I had continued I easily would've gotten a full ride somewhere.

I dunno. They get on-field access every game, free travel/hotel/food for the away games including bowl games, class credit, and usually a stipend.
The band is awesome.

Every band kid I ever knew in high school was weird as hell. Big 6'3 225lb tuba player shoulda had his big arse on the oline pushing his weight around instead of in the stands.

Just like his Trumpet...when it came to coaching football in the SEC...Butch Jones blew it.
That being said...if he'd had a Benge instead of a crappy Holton Galaxy...there's no telling what kind of trumpet player Butch may have become.

fricking nerd

It's just the way life works. One day the cool high school jock is playing slow pitch softball when he's 40 and the band geek is pulling chicks as a musician. Then the roles reverse. It's the circle of life.

Regardless how awesome they can be when pumping up a crowd...a large majority of them run full speed to lunch like they are about to die of starvation, hiss at you, and play ninja in the courtyard...they knew they were weird and embraced it too...went out of their way to show everyone they were weird.
Nothing against them, but that's the answer to your question.

Because most band kids are
- In other AP classes
- Introverts
- Only hang out with each other and are awkward among others
- Do other geeky things like D&D, MtG, etc
Also, Band is a bigger cult than the Mormons.

This is a weird thread.

Was rocking out to the band at the fan thing and it was awesome. After it was over everybody was cheering for them as they went back to their hotel.
To a person they looked nerdy as fricke. But they are still cool.
One of my best friends was in the tiger band, dude was cool, but also nerdy. I assume they are all like that.

It's kinda like football. The best get to go from high school and play in college. The vast majority of high school kids that play instruments in the band are definitely nerds. There may be 2 or 3 kids that aren't cripplingly socially awkward and good at playing their instruments and they get to audition to play for big schools.
They're all still nerds but just like everyone else, get to come out of their shells away from parents in college and maybe frick a golden girl or two
