Attention, fellow music geeks! It doesn't matter if you've been in a jazz band, rock band, wedding band, marching band, reggae band, or even a go-go band. We all know what it's like to be a part of a music band.

I want to share some of the best quotes I've seen about being part of a band. Some quotes will be funny, others will be motivational, and some may be just plain-eye opening.

Feel free to use some of these quotes when talking to your band buddies or teaching a class. It's a good way to break the ice amongst people who share some of the same experiences with music and creative performance.

I've even thrown in some kid-friendly quotes that you can use to motivate the little ones!
