Bandgeeks Stories

"Oh it's a male! Tell me, is he cute?" "Oh my god Ty," Adam hit his arm, "Here's a thing to know about us gays. We don't fall for every guy that crosses our path. It's like how you'd view girls. Not every one of them is cute. Also, don't think we're all that girly. You see polish on my nails?" Tyler paused for a minute, then said, "So he is cute." "I didn't say that!" "But you implied it," Tyler ran a hand through his light brown hair as they walked out the baseball field together, "When you dodge a question, like the one I just asked, it usually means 'yes but I don't want to admit it'." •••• "Channing, do you like Adam?" Like. As in, romantic feelings. She didn't mean the brother way or the best friend way. She meant the "like like" way. Did he? Did Channing actually have feelings for Adam? It had been so long since the blond had had a crush on a boy that he almost forgot the feeling. The way he felt when Adam reached over and pushed his hair out of his face. It was almost unknown to the universe. Channing's stomach had turned into multiple knots and the butterflies couldn't escape. He remembered the feeling of his heart pounding against his rib cage, like it was trying to break out of jail. It felt... ...amazing. *Cover by @Halfblood_of_the_Sea **If you don't like LGBT+, depression, or strong language, then discretion is advised

Just some random rants and things

Peter Parker and Harper Anderson, two marching band friends who meet at band camp, they share more that they know including... odd dreams. Their lives become a mess of a roller coaster ride over just a few months. I DO NOT OWN MARVEL OR ANY OF THEIR CHARACTERS! If I did, my life would be very different and my dreams would come true.

Robert Jones is an average Junior High Band Teacher. His students adore him, he has a beautiful wife and a single son to call his own. But what you haven't been told is this- He was really a Time Traveller who saved the universe from the wicked Drum Major- A spirit-like human with a strong desire to destroy the universe, using the power of music to her advantage. Once the Drum Major is defeated once and for all, he married the beautiful Brenna and adopted their son Jason, giving up Time Travel for what he thought was the rest of his life. Sadly, he wasn't the best at hiding from his students. But when the Drum Major suddenly appears once again, it's up to The Conductor, his wife, and his students to save the universe.

My personal diary. Call me Vanilla. I am your average bandgeek. Kidding, I'm probably the weirdest person you will have ever read about. I love social media. I play the flute I named my flute Phil.

Jake was just a teenager struggling with self-hate and self-harm. He's unhappy where he is, he has friends he can talk to but he doesn't want to be here anymore. But what happens when Danny comes along? What happens when Danny gives him reason to stop cutting his beautiful wrists? What will happen when Danny is no longer stopping Jake from hurting himself? Is Jake going to finally be free from this world or will he decide to stay.

A band trip to Amarillo, invited to play for and directed by a retired and amazing band director with the rest of your band members sounds amazing, right? Nothing could go wrong. Absolutely nothing. Not when the train is hijacked, not when people try and attack everyone else. No, nothing could ruin it. The cold weather that Mother Nature threw at us could take us all down. We were family, a band family, and nothing could take that away from us. Death nor hijackers, but maybe just finding out who everyone was in a life or death situation. Maybe that could change everyone, just maybe.... Warnings: Cursing (more will be added as this story progresses) This story was themed off of a band song made for a train chase during the early civil war. When listening to the recording, this story started to form and there, this magical story started. I will try my best to update this when I can, as I am having a bunch of fun with this. But I might also not have time to do a proper update for it. You all might never know. (This was also bloodier before I did a bigger change in the plot.)

We all have regrets. We all smile. We all frown. Sometimes all we need is an encouraging word from others or seeing that someone else is also going through pain to understand one's self. In this book which consist of poems, entries, and thoughts there are stones in which no one would consider to glance at but also sees a new way to treasure. This book is for those who are in need or curious. This is my atonement. How I write when I need. Now take a look--even if it were just a glance. Who knows? The words that follow may surprise you.

pretty self explanatory, but it's just a bunch of pit problems and stories.

The flutes and french horns have joined forces against the trumpets. The tuba slept with a saxophone. Tenor saxophone quit. The bassoon is drinking. The percussion have broken the piano, much to the bassoons dismay. It's just another average year as a Cooperstown High School Band student. Cooperstown has never been beautiful. And I doubt it ever will be. Nothing about it really is. There's the Western Side, where all of the rich people live in their big houses and large yards and apple trees. There's the Slums, where all of the people wrecked by poverty and drugs live in their rundown apartments and clubs. There's downtown, where all of the people doing okay live, around St. Judas River and Jesus Street, and no one knows who named those two but they clearly didn't read the Bible. There's the schools. Cooperstown Elementary School, Middle School, and High School. The only ones we need to hear about are the ones in the Cooperstown High School Band. The ones with problems. The ones with issues. The ones who don't really think this world, in the town Cooperstown could even have the possibility to be beautiful. But then they find out that Cooperstown is losing funding, and the band will be cut out entirely. The Bassoon will have to become sober and give up owning cigarettes. The famed Trumpets and French Horn/Flute rivalry will have to come to an end. (But only with some Romeo and Juliet crap.) The Tuba and a Saxophone will have to work out the issues that come with sleeping together. The Seniors have exams. Dallas will have to get over his grief. Brianna must realize that what she wants is okay. Benny has unrequited love. Brooklyn has confusing love. All of them have issues. All of them have problems. All of them have trouble seeing the world as a beautiful place. But this year will change that. Because this year they have to band together to save the band. But t I refuse the lie--only like fifteen kids are actually doing anything.

Geeks, nerds, loners, the unpopular ones. Rarely is their side of the story told. The romantics of the other half has never been brought to the limelight. So I observed, and wrote. I wanted people to know about these unsung love stories. And I wanted them to be real. But this is just the fictional thoughts of one girl. A girl in blue converses.

I'm a band geek, I won't deny it. I love band, and some crazything happen in that class, so I thought well why not write about it? So, here I am now. Get ready to read some wierd stuff, and see awesome band memes. 🎵

"She’d been told everybody loved her. She’d been told everybody liked her. If this was true, why did she feel so isolated? Hatred and longing boiled up inside her chest, threatening to burst. It bubbled and hissed. She almost wished it would burn a hole right through her heart. Then maybe, just maybe, she wouldn’t have to put up with it anymore. She wouldn’t cry. She wasn’t even sure if she could. She wanted to, but it hurt so bad all she could do was buckle her knees and collapse onto her bed, her gaze still focused on the mirror."

Forced to move across country and become a rookie as a junior, the newest tenor drummer deals with an intense Instructor, a cheerleader and the possibility of love in her own section. Told in engaging first person, Confessions of a Teenage Band Geek is not your typical YA story.

Resilient and optimistic Julia launches herself into her new life and starts by joining the marching band. A talented drum set player, the blonde proves herself as an intense percussionist and is awarded a spot in the tenor section, a subsection of Westlake high school's competitive drumline. In addition, Julia joins a local rock band, Beans and Cornbread, and begins teaching drum set lessons. Events in the fast-paced novel work around band camp, Beans and Cornbread's first show, an 'impacting' first marching band competition, sneaky cheerleading exes and an exciting Homecoming week.
