Publication Date: April 8, 2009

College Application

Name: Ellie Snow

Age: 18

Intended Major: ???

Why do you want to attend Covington?

Well, the truth is I don't really know what I want. My plan was to attend State, close to my family, friends, and (slightly clingy) boyfriend and become a high school band director like I always dreamed. But when I visited your campus, I liked everything about it—especially Alex, the cool girl who showed me around. So now I have to decide: stick with what I know? Or go to a school far away with zero marching bands . . . but one Alex and tons of new possibilities?

Sound-off praise for Band Geek Love:

"[Ellie is] refreshingly real and honest."—KLIATT

"Hits all of the right notes."—Little Willow, slayground.livejournal.com

"A memorable cast of characters that jump off the page."—SLJTeen
