A violin Nazi is a violinist who believes strongly in the philosophy that the violin is the superior instrument, and all others, particularly violas, are less than worthless. These individuals are generally very dismissive of other musicians and their instruments, and seem just a little too eager to make jokes about them (especially viola jokes), in a manner that leaves everyone else wondering whether they are actually joking or not.
Violin Nazism is frequently, but not necessarily, accompanied by an overinflated ego.
Violin Nazis are not the only type of instrument Nazis (there can be cello Nazis, clarinet Nazis, etc), but it tends to be the most common with violinists.

Viola 1: Can you believe it? That violinist just laughed at me for playing one wrong note.
Viola 2: Yeah, if I had a dollar for every time he's said "violas must die," I'd be able to buy a new set of strings!
Viola 1: He really is a violin Nazi, isn't he. Smh.

A phrase said by band geeks to remind other band geeks to watch the drum major so that they stay in tempo. Drum majors are the leaders of the band, and, among other responsibilities, they give the band the tempo. If you don't look at your major, the band could fall apart.
Always look at your major.
Always look at your major.

Dude 1: I won't!
Dude 2: Yeah, just don't forget to look at your major!

Clubbed thumbs (scientific name brachydactyly type D) is a recessive trait that reduces the length of the top bone of your thumb, resulting in short, fat thumbs. It really sucks because you get made fun of and texting is harder, it's also harder to play a lot of musical instruments and don't even get me started on having to find a bowling ball that doesn't get stuck on your thumb. You can have both or just one clubbed thumb, it also has like a million nicknames, including murderer's thumb, toe thumb, royal thumb, etc.
Person: Eww your thumbs are ugly
Me: Yeah I have clubbed thumbs and it makes it really hard to play the bassoon.
Me: Yeah I have clubbed thumbs and it makes it really hard to play the bassoon.

That feeling you get when marching season is over and you really miss it. You actually have free time now, but at what cost? It's when you really miss late night football games, and contests, and being with your band family 24/7, and sometimes you get so desperate you even miss band camp and all the hours of exhausting rehearsal.
Symptoms include excessive crying, watching past show videos, playing through old show music, and just standing on the marching field for no apparent reason.

Person: Bro, why are you locking yourself in your room with a glass of grape Koolaid and a box of tissues?
Me: Leave me alone, I'm gonna go listen to all my old marching shows and cry.
Person: Dude you're only a sophomore, you still have two more years!
Me: Yeah, it's just marching band withdrawal

The little pieces of black rubber found in the astro turf on a marching field (aka football field). They get everywhere, and once there, they're impossible to fully get rid of... They're annoying, but they are a way of life. For the truly dedicated band student, finding a turf turd often triggers an episode of Marching Band Withdrawl.
It's been six months since the last time I was on a marching field, and I'm still finding turf turds in my shoes! Dang, I miss marching season...
