A band geek or band nerd is a student who is heavily involved in marching bands and/or concert bands.[1][2][3] The terms are sometimes used to describe any student who plays an instrument and is in a band class (including students in the orchestra), or those who play an instrument outside of school, as long as it's an instrument typically found in a concert band or orchestra.[4][5] Orch dork is a variation of this term that is applied specifically to members of school orchestras.[6]
