If you're n Marching Band, absolutely. Requires alot of cardio work out, focus, and maintaining a healthy body as well as discipline. Check out some groups. Blue Devils, Phantom Regiment, Santa Clara Vanguard and many more. Its DCI (Drum Corps International).
I would consider it a sport because of the ability required for it. Along with competing. However, in school it counts as a PE credit because of amount of physical work it involves. Lots of running, and working out. Holding instruments, and playing while running and marching around the field for a 7-11 minute show.

Definition: 1.) Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively.
2.) An athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature

Marching Band definitely falls under that, so yes. It is a sport. However, just regular band, not so much.

sorry

Hmmm.... what you say you are doing, yes. But, cheer-leading is a sport, but no one thinks it is. There are a lot of sports that people don't count.

while it can meet the requirements, i wouldnt call it a sport.

Now, i will say, it can easily be just as hard/challenging as any sport out there.

(this from someone who spent 13 years in marching band.)

Not necassarly,but you do march outside,so maybe. eek

[SithHappens91]

normal band isn't, marching band isn't but it's brutal one week of training and i quit. according to schools now though marching band counts as a P.E. class and it is competitive so i guess it technically could be called a sport but if skateboarding "isn't a real sport" then i don't think band is sorry.
