In my opinion, the hardest working people at a football game. We practice as many days as we can make sure we do our best, our very best, get our marching show perfect during half-time. We also want play good and sound good so we can make our school proud to have such a great band and go to marching competions. I just want to point out that marching bands are NOT nerds and geeks who have nothing better to do, but regular students who enjoy playing in the band and marching.

A term used by nerds. "You are out of the band" is used to make fun of a person even though there is no actual band to be kicked out of.

The section of a school that contains all of the music rooms. Even if it's not a 'wing', the Music Kids call it that as a term of endearment. Some serious Music Nerds have spent eighteen hours at school-related functions due to this wing. Actually considered a second home by serious band nerds.
