One time at band camp...

A guest post by mozartbitch...

My husband and I were chatting about the different types of geeks. Techie Geeks, Movie Geeks, Math Geeks – the list goes on and on. I think that everyone has something that they get soooo into (obsessed? Any Geek would not say they are obsessed – just that they are “really into it” right?) that they travel into the realm of Geekdom. Me – I am a Music Geek. For all other Music Geeks out there – be you Rock, Jazz, Electronic - I will specify a subcategory – Classical.

Classical Geeks. In high school we were known as Band Geeks – whose well-known stereotypes are used frequently in movies and pop culture (“… and one time at band camp…”). Slowly we grow out of our “band camp” stage and grow obsessed with music written centuries ago. To someone like my husband, who geeks out to 90’s music, it is hard to explain why “90” isn’t specific enough – 1690, 1790, 1890, or 1990?

Really any geek can appreciate the wealth of information that a Classical Music Geek can feed upon. I mean really the only people that have us beat are Bible Geeks and Dinosaur Geeks. So I figured I would blog a little every now and then – to give you a behind the scenes look at a different type of geek. Any other Music Geeks out there? How about Band Geeks (or former Band Geeks)? Come on you have to have some good stories!
