The ideal Band kid. More devoted to band than a band geek, and less annoying than a band dork. The arch enemy of choir dweebs
"Hey, band dork!"

"I am NOT a band dork, I'm a band NERD!"

Get the band nerd mug.
A put-down insult used by the untalented people who cannot play instruments intended to somehow "lessen the glory" of the talented, skilled people, but the put-down somehow fails to work every time, contrary to "orch-dorks", a put-down aimed at orchestra people which works every time.
Person 1:"Hey, you're a band nerd!"

Person 2:"Umm, okay weirdo, at least I'm not an orch-dork like you."
Person 1: "Ohhhh that hurt!"
Get the band nerd mug.
a person with no school activities other than band. A person who talks obsessively about the band and the directors. Usually wears fog dog musicwear shirts and makes odd noises saying it is music. They like to congegate in groups and talk about band. They are usually never alone out of fear of rejection and never wonder far from the band hall they also are very nasty closet freaks in large numbers on the band bus where crazy things happen.
I was like totally in the band hall and the director told me to play higher and then.
