The term "band geek" refers to a division of high school and college subculture, primarily in the United States, which involves the students who are heavily involved in marching bands and concert band.
Band geek culture develops around the students' schedule of rehearsals, performances, and competitions. Also, band geeks can participate in other groups, such as jazz band, winter drumline, and winterguard. Additionally, due to the amount of time spent together, members of color guard have also been subsumed into the "band geek" group, although more specific terms, such as "flag nerd" "flagget" or "saber geek" also exist. The term Band Nerd, which was at one time correct, can be used as a thing to enrage and/or egg on said "band geeks"
"Band geek" can also be used as a blanket term for any student in middle or high school who plays an instrument and that are in band class with friends in band, including students in the orchestra, or even those who play an instrument outside of school (assuming it's an instrument typically found in a concert band or orchestra). However, the number of school strings programs have increased over the past few decades, allowing new members to join.
A common characteristic of a band geek is their admiration of their directors, also shared by band geeks at other schools.
While string players aren't technically band geeks, they have their own group, often referred to as the dorchestra. While this is not politically correct, many people still use it. Another term that may be used is "Orch Dork", which is somewhat comprable to Band Geek.

Well, that pretty much applies to me.

I guess because people ask me for band help a lot.
