As a marching band groupie, I sit in on plenty of conversations involving music major terms and inside jokes. As someone who’s never seriously studied music beyond the sixth grade, I usually don’t get any of them. Nevertheless, I continue to listen to these conversations, nodding now and again and giving my band friends the Jim-from-The-Office smile and shrugging my shoulders. I’ve long ago given up trying to understand what most of my musical friends talk about.
