Band Fags
Back in olden times when I was in high school, the band kids were called “Band Fags”. I was a Band Fag. I played the most GEEKY instrument EVER: the bass clarinet. It was as skinny and as tall as I was and it was the only clarinet part I could play when I joined band in the tenth grade. My desire to become a Band Fag started when I started twirling a flag in the color guard. The more immersed I got in Band Fag culture, the more I realized that I had found MY people.
I am prouder than proud to say that four out of my six kids are fellow Band Fags now. I was looking for a way to test my new Smugmug plugin so I decided to post the album of my son Kyle and his trombone. I’m so proud of my little…um…Band Fag. Is it wrong to call your kids fags on the internet?

Definitely! Congrats on your novel. Marching band meeting for the kid tonight…he starts this Fall!
As an out and proud Band Fag, you should check out my debut novel, BAND FAGS! It was recently banned by Facebook — seems they didn’t appreciate my using the “F” word in the title. But we Band Fags know it’s a term of endearment, don’t we?
