I was a snare drummer in the marching band. I was also the assistant drum major.

I looked damn good in the uniform too. Chicks dug me.

Maybe you had to be there.

I don’t know if this is geeky enough to fit your category. At the time, I thought I was radical. In the late seventies in high school, I played tuba. And I rode a motorcycle. At the time, girls usually played the “cute” instruments like flute and clarinet. I sang and played piano, too, and both much better than I played tuba, but no one remembers me for that.

I was never, ever in a band, but I am currently taking drum lessons.

Obviously, I’m going through some sort of mid-life crisis. (Don’t laugh too hard.)

Violin, and 1st Chair Clarinet + Marching band for Octorara High School. We took first in 97% of our parades. We were awesome.

If you’re looking to start a new band, I am an avid spoon player. It’s my favorite pastime.

Crap…I totally meant to write “and this one time at band camp…” in my comment above right after where I wrote the part about me playing the flute. Now it is just lame. Sorry!

I played the flute for one year in the school band. I dated guys in cool bands though. Can I just list the names of their bands and pretend to be cool? Here we go…Misconception, Flying Gurnard; Stone Diam (say it out loud if you don’t get that one) and I know there were others but I can’t remember…I think I am getting old or something.

I was in several bands. The names escape me though.

Despite my years of music lessons, there was never much calling for a flute in the garage bands I knew.

I never even dated anyone in a garage band. Great. Now I feel like a huge dork.
