Guh! I hate those kind of people. More than once I've had an argument with people at school about band. There is this one football player who is always like 'Well if it werent for the football team you wouldnt have a marching band" and I just promptly reply "If it werent for the marching band you wouldnt have a audience"....but marching band is a sport, it an effort and hardwork to multitask and perform all at once.

It's not an uncommon statement. I mean I don't care if they call it a sport or not, I personally don't like the fact that they're degrading band students and saying they do less work than football and acting like marching is something very easy to do. Really we can't change people's minds, unless we kidnap them and make them be a part of a marching band, but for now you can just calmly reply. It's just a sterotype that band geeks are dorky and unatheltic.

I would like to do that, the kidnapping. It would be hillairious to try to get the jocky preppy people learning how to play an instument and sending them off to hell i mean band camp.

Hahahaha. Something like the black ops.

*Female prep walking with other female prep.

"Oh those band nerds are at it again," said female prep one to female prep two.

"God. I swear always practicing."

"They act like it's a sport."

Suddenly black ninjas come out from the ceiling, kidnap female prep one . . .

Moments later female prep one wakes . . . in full band uniform with a snare drum hooked up to her . . . she looks around to see she's in the middle of a band field.8

mmmmm pwned in a DIFFERENT LANGUAGE! Now that's sweet.

My friends keeps trying to convince me that it's not a sport. I asked what would make it a sport? and he said: rules/referees, teamwork, physical training

Rules: our rules are quit ea bit harder and we have, what?, 7 judges running around watching your every movement. (I couldn't think of any rules at the time. He shoved all my rules under the title of 'form' ROLL STEPPING IS NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU USE TO MAKE IT PRETTIER IT'S ESSENTIAL AND YOU WILL LOSE A POINT IF YOU DON'T... dumbutt stare help me think of more rules? the only one I can think of is the time limit confused )

Teamwork: try to fix something without talking OR handmovements. Football players go out there and wing it every time. Ask them to tell you exactly what happens during the whole performance? how long does their game take? they don't know much about their own performance. OUR team needs EVERY player and no one is benched, meaning that everyone must be at the same level. those that are sub par get extra attention and pulled forcibly up to the proper level. we can't just put our trust in one 'star player' we ALL need to be the star players pirate

physical training: we DO run. we DO work. We do NOT just walk around. We DO lift weights to make sure we can keep perfect angles. We are NOT overweight and 'lazy' talk2hand

I beat him into saying it was indeed a physical activity but refuses to call it a sport neutral

"... If it werent for the marching band you wouldnt have a audience" ...

Hahaha...so true, when I was in high school after halftime we'd all just wave at half the audience leaving. Another good memory is that we made fun of the cheerleaders a few times when doing the tunnel for the football team.. Clap clap hips! Good times...Good times..

OMFG I get SOOO tired of arguments like this! I read almost the whole thing and I like this quote the best:

Umi Mikazuki

For all you people who say band isn't a sport, I'd just like to add my two cents:

You try marching for hours in 90 degree weather during band camp, with limited water breaks.

You try moving almost nonstop for eight or so minutes in a hot, scratchy wool uniform and hat. Even better, carrying a huge instrument like a tuba. Oh, and having to PLAY your instrument when you have no breath from all the huffing and puffing required to get to your sets in time.

Sport
1 a : a source of diversion : RECREATION b : sexual play c (1) : physical activity engaged in for pleasure (2) : a particular activity (as an athletic game) so engaged in

If marching band isn't a physical activity, than what the hell is it?

Please think before you post. You all sound like ignorant fools.
