do you think marching band is a sport?

Yes I do, I think we work harder than the douchebag football players at our school. We compete, we run, and sweat our asses off for several hours a day.

If it's a sport, then I really need to bring that point up with the school board around here that's debating cutting it if they need to save some money (it's about #5 on the list) while they are not planning to do so with actual "sports" (considering they're about 12th on the list).

Around here though, I think it's not a sport. If it was, the schools would care.

Yes... at least it should certainly count as a physical education course.

I remember those 3 weeks before school started when we had band-camp (at the school)... warm-up calisthenics, runs, and 5 hours of marching in 90 degree heat.

Then during football season, each week was spent learning the new music and formations for each game.

you'd have to know a band geek to know for sure it is! im a band geek and i know it is! we have to play instruments while marching at least a 100 yards a day. But its ridicalous cuz no one thinks it is. My bff, whose a cheerleader, now knows better lol

I suppose we could classify it that way. It definitely gives you a workout, doesn't it? Maybe it should be. You make a good point. What instrument do you play?

Yes I think it is! I mean you do compete so why wouldn't it be?

umm i don't think soo

but if you really think about it it kinda is because of

competitions, teams, work outs, and representing ur school and wearing skool oultfits.

i didn't even know there was a discussion about it.
