Ok, well, i'm in marching band and I'm a freshman. I went into the year thinking "I'm gonna meet lots of guys and i'm gonna be really nice and outgoing." But i was just wondering....how are you really supposed to get to know guys who aren't in your section and don't play your instrument?? i don't find much time to socialize with them. I see a lot of cute boys, but the problem is i don't get how u get to know them when almost everything you do is practically within your section.
My other question is....
Do sohpmore/junior guys naturally think freshmen girls are really immature? like, if they find out a girl has a crush on them, will they think she's weird and annoying because she's a freshmen? there could be some guys i'm interested in, but i'm afraid to talk to them or anything because i don't want them to think i'm annoying.
Is there time during band that the instructor gives you a bit of time to socialize & take a break from playing if he thinks you guys did well that day? I know that as a singer, my choir teacher gave us 15 minutes [sometimes more] to talk amongst ourselves when we did good that day.
If so, go up to them & introduce yourself & find out their names. Once you do that, see if you have any classes together. If you do, keep talking to them there. If you happen to have no classes together except band, maybe you'll see them in the hall. When you happen to see them in the hall, say hi & smile. Then if they seem interested, start up a conversation & make friends.
As far as I know about guys, sophomores & juniors tend to go for freshman girls as well as girls their age. I've seen a lot of guys at my school hook-up & date girls of the freshman class simply because it's a new face from what they've been seeing lately & it's a new person to get to know. Some guys will think you're annoying & immature, but not all guys are like that. Yeah, I'm giving them credit, I know. Haha, but honestly, just be yourself & if you see a guy you think is cute, say hi, smile & start a friendship. You could end up dating one of these guys.
However, if they're not interested, that's their loss. There's a lot of other guys out there, so don't beat yourself up if a guy doesn't like you. Other guys will like you & ask you out, so just keep a positive outlook. =) Have fun & good luck! [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]

fellow bander here
from my experience, I became friends with people who were all outside my section(guys included) if you ever go on band trips or something you all just kinda hang out and thats where u get to know them
Some upper classmen might think that freshman girls are immature. But if you just be yourself(mature self) and leave out the whole freshman part, they wont even know. And most guys, not to sound shallow or slutty or anything, if they think youre hot and you dont act like a "stupid freshman" they'll like you.
i was friends with plenty of upperclassman band guys. [ marsbars's advice column | Ask marsbars A Question ]
