Drum set player Julia McCoy is not a typical marching band member. Forced to move across country and become a rookie as a junior, the newest tenor drummer deals with an intense Instructor, a cheerleader and the possibility of love in her own section.
Told in engaging first person, Confessions of a Teenage Band Geek is not your typical YA story. Protagonist Julia McCoy’s plans for an amazing junior year suddenly shift when her parents announce they are moving from SoCal to Atlanta, GA. Resilient and optimistic Julia launches herself into her new life and starts by joining the marching band. A talented drum set player, the blonde proves herself as an intense percussionist and is awarded a spot in the tenor section, a subsection of Westlake high school’s competitive drumline. In addition, Julia joins a local rock band, Beans and Cornbread, and begins teaching drum set lessons.
Events in the fast paced novel work around band camp, Beans and Cornbread's first show, an 'impacting' first marching band competition, sneaky cheerleading exes and an exciting Homecoming week. Fans of Courtney Brandt's Line series will be happy to see cameos from previous characters make appearances.

Confessions of a Teenage Band Geek eBook Courtney Brandt
This is a young adult book that centers around a character, Julia McCoy, who lived in California and was a drummer for a band with her friends.One day, close to the end of her sophomore year of high school, her parents tell her they are moving across the country to Georgia. Julia isn't happy about the move, but what can she really do about it? After the move occurs, as school approaches, she goes to register for her classes. As she's registering, she's asked if there is anything she's interested in for classes or extra cirriculars.
Julia admits that she's a set drummer. She's convinced to sign up for band and goes to meet the director. As he learns that she's a set drummer, he has her audition. They offer her a late placement on the marching band. And she accepts.
You should know, Julia's never been in band. So you definitely get a perspective of what marching band is like, from a newbie's point of view. (I myself was never in band or even marching band....but I have several friends that were, so this was not a new point for me.)
Julia is the only girl playing tenors on the drumline. In her section, it seems that the leader of the section, Denny, likes her. During band camp, they become a couple when he bids for her in an auction and wins.
Once school officially starts up, Julia has to deal with band, her relationship with Denny, teaching drumset lessons, and I forgot to mention...she's also in a band, Beans and Cornbread. (Interesting name for a band, right?!) AND she has to deal with Denny's ex, Liberty Jensen, who is the most popular girl in school and of course, your typical cheerleader. But, she manages to work all those things out and the rivalry between Julia and Liberty is pretty interesting. Some of the ruses she comes up with to get back at Liberty totally rock!
Would I recommend this book? Yes! It's interesting and a fun read and I wish I'd read it sooner. It's been on my "to-read" list for a long time. The author has a few other books as well, and I think, with time, I will eventually read them.

Confessions of a Teenage Band Geek eBook Courtney Brandt Reviews
The book was amazing n i am a 13 year old n i love this book Julia is really different from most teenage girls . if u are thing of getting this book u should get and its free so why not. it a realy great book
The girl can rock. This book is really good , where I start , I had to finish it. With all it ups and downs , it keeps the story interesting.
And its really good.
This is a wonderful book about a very determined, cool, and spunky young woman who works hard to pursue her love for drumming. I found it fun and inspiring.
This book was a good read that was easy to lose yourself in for a few hours. Julia is a strong character and I love the way she is portrayed. I love the chemistry between her and Denny. Ms. Brandt did a great job breaking the stereo types of the "band geek". I recommend reading this.
I would have to say that this is one of those rare gems that brings you back to when you were in high school. As a former "band geek" who did band camp and all that is involved with band I would have to say I really appreciated this book. I would highly recommend this book for someone who is just trying to read something sweet and innocent.
Yes, I had to endure the talk of "broad shoulders" and dreamy eyes, but this is a cute story about a girl in a competitive drumline in GA...being a drummer, band director, and drum corps alum, (not to mention a tenor player), I really loved all the accuracy about equipment, rehearsals, and other things associated with being in band for millions of kids throughout the nation. This isn't "Drumline" the movie. And that IS A GOOD THING! The director of that movie said he didn't do a traditional marching band story because it would be boring. Ms. Brandt has ABSOLUTELY proven him wrong. I'll be checking out the other books, stat!
I stumbled on this hidden gem while browsing and thought why not? Julia is a bad ass drummer to bad she is moving and has to say good buy to her friends and band.
Thankfully she can join the school band at her new school, get to meet new people and maybe even get a new boyfriend. The reason I loved Julia so much is that she was brave and funny and she never backs down from a challenge, I loved how hard she worked to reach her goals. She's the kind off girl I would like to have been friends with.
