“Band nerd”
I didn’t realize I’d started a controversy.
But I like the idea of a language map to finally put this to rest. I grew up in the northern burbs of Chicago, FWIW. The land of “pop.”
Maybe there should be one master map for all regional lingo.
Internet, make it happen.
I believe the correct term is “band geeks.” or my favorite, “the dorkestra.”
[and FYI, I was trombone for like 6 months, so I kinda qualified]
Maybe this is a regional thing? Where I grew up everyone called it “band nerd.” But apparently in some places, it’s called “band geek.” I’ve had some people really hassle me over this. Also, instead of dorkestra, I’ve heard it called “orch dork.” (We didn’t have orchestra, so I can’t really speak to that.)
I think they (i.e., someone other than me) should do a map for this like they did the pop vs. soda debate. What do you call it?
