*you understand what " Clap-clap, clap, clap-clap, clap, clap, clap-clap, clap-clap, clap, clap" and "Doo-doo-doo-doooo dee yah doh doo doo wah....." are.
*you've actually sung/clapped it -while you're not in band -during summer break *things like 22/8 time become easy to play
*you create a link just for jazz band because it deserves one *you threaten people who play the same instrument not to try out for your spot even if they dont want to try out *you think a pat metheny show for marching band would be the coolest thing ever *you are willing to switch to baritone and be in JV band just so you can be in jazz band
*you spend $150 on 4 hamburgers and drinks while listening to Avishai at the Bluenote -you know what the Bluenote is -you went everynight Avishai was in town -you brought him a birthday cake *in one song you have to switch instruments more than two times *91.5 is on the radio when you start your car -it's programmed into your car -you've programmed it into a car that's not yours -and you put it on all 6 just to annoy them
*you just watch The Cosby Show hoping to see Dizzy Gilespie as the band teacher *you join the second jazz band even though it meets for earlybird *you switch to a different instrument just to be in it *during long rests you figure out what else mallets can be used for *you've made another instrument out of part of a bass string and play it during class *you've ever played with the goat toes *you've come to an understanding that the tuning notes never help *you analyze the names of your songs (mood indigo)
*you use a santa hat as your mute bag for the winter concert
*you decide to have a sectional at heathers house just so she will make you pizza
*whenever you clap, you have to clap like a mentally retarded freak, just so you can make fun of how Teemant claps(trys to clap) in 22/8 time!
