Ha-ha! I just found this great test online. I took it, and I got 48 points. Very accurate!

The Band/Marching Band Geek Test!

> You hear a whistle and immediately snap to attention: 1
> After practicing your instrument, you find it tough to type because of muscle memory in your fingers (especially relevant to three-valve instruments): 2
> After practicing, you find it tough to kiss properly (especially relevant to tuba, trombone, and baritone players): 3
> After practicing, you actually have a boyfriend/girlfriend to discover that it is difficult to kiss properly: -10 (you lie!)
> You have participated in a sung version of one or more of the song you play with the rest of the band members (singing your own sections part): 7
> You hear the phrase battle of the bands and immediately picture competing marching bands playing it out on the football field: 6
> You can march the distance of 5 yards perfectly in the span of 8 beats…
…backwards: 4
…backwards and with your eyes closed: 6
…backwards, with your eyes closed, and while carrying a tuba/sousaphone/baritone/saxophone: 10
> The name Sousa…
…gives you the chills: 1
…excites you: 4
> This one time at band camp is a phrase you’ve actually used and have not just quoted from American Pie: 8
> You’ve decked out your instrument with those battery-operated Christmas lights…
…for a holiday performance: 7
…on a regular day/performance: 10

Now add up your total…

< 4: The Jock
What the crap are you doing taking a Band Geek test? You obviously show little or no signs of being a Band Geek. Go back to being a Goth/jock/cheerleader or whatever you do–were busy practicing our scales!

5-14: The Greenhorn
Well, I suppose every young Band Geek has to start somewhere. My suggestion is to spend as much time as you can trying to perfect your geeky ways. Have you ever been to band camp?

15-24: The Average Joe
You fall into the average category. That is, you’re like the majority of those who consider themselves Band Geeks: not near elite, but not entirely mediocre, either. Keep marching, you’ll get there!

25-34: The Contender
You are quite Band Geeky, but you probably have other activities that interfere with your band schedule. Stay the course, and one day you may become one of the Elite Geeks!

35-44: The Artist
It is quite an accomplishment to become this geeky—congratulations! You seem to have the right amount of geekiness to succeed in band, but you also aren’t a total geek and therefore have some social skills! Congratulations!

> 45: The Elite Geek  < (this is me!)
You, my friend, fall into the smallest yet most looked-up to categories of band geeks: the Elite Geek. You are the pure Band Geek in its most natural form. My guess is that you play more than one instrument and have never had a boyfriend/girlfriend. But that doesn’t really matter right now your current top priority is getting that solo!
