You Know You're An Orch Dork When...

- You hold your toothbrush the way you hold your bow completely unintentionally

- You no longer crack up when someone says "my g-string snapped"

- You attack your dad when he tries to take your cello/bass and put it in the back of the truck for you

- You start naming your pets or stuffed animals (for all those who still have them) after composers

- You are watching a movie or television and either say "OMG! I've played that before!" or "I have that song!"

- You get together with your friends and in the midst of deciding what to do, you find yourselves playing chamber music

- You buy things like cookie cutters and pasta in the shape of musical notes and instruments

- You know every viola joke by heart

- You know that viola jokes are just so TRUE

- You have separate buddy lists - one for orch dorks and one for "regular people"

- You've named your instrument

- You can draw various instruments on your Etch-a-Sketch

- You carry around a nail clipper

- You sing Beethoven/Tchaikovsky symphonies in parts for fun

- You protect your hands at all costs...except in the case of Egyptian Ratscrew

- You ask for bows/rosin/mutes for Christmas...and cry when you don't get them

- Whenever you're in school, you think about how an orch dork school would be so much cooler

- You go nuts when you hear the school bell go off because you try to figure out what pitch it is

- The A 440 has gone off on your pocket metronome in the middle of English class

- Your metronome is the most expensive item you own

- You sing along with the microwave

- You find yourself conducting to classical/soundtrack music

- You listen to classical/soundtrack music

- When cleaning, you find strings in odd places and wonder how they got there

- You have Christmas music stuck in your head before Thanksgiving because you're already rehearsing it

- You do stupid things like walk into walls or fall up the stairs

- You glare at the band geeks because they're not nearly as cool as orch dorks!!!

-- YAH!!! GO ORCH DORKS!!!!! --
