I suggest toe taps over foot taps... Foot taps are too noticeable....

I don't tap anything while I play. I can't multitask too well.

I tap my foot all the time. it keeps you at the right tempo, if it helps why not do it. being a "baby" is better then being and idiot playing at the wrong tempo!

I tap my foot when practicing or rehearsing.
When it comes to the actual deal;;
it's straight-cut professional for me.
;D

I personally hated tapping my foot ever since I started marching (strange...) but our bd is always yelling at us TO tap our foot. I think, if you can't keep the beat in your head, you need to keep it elsewhere.
And no, it's not at all babylike, as everyone else has been saying.

Tapping your foot is actually good for you to keep rythm and beat! I tap my foot wierd though: I use my heel instead of my toes. One time, one of the seniors said that it looked like I was boincing up and down every time I tapped.

River Angel Odin Okay, this has been bothering me for three years...since 6th grade when I joined the middle school band. I'm not saying I downright hate my band director or anything, but I can't possibly keep tempo without having to tap my foot. And he's told me so many times to stop (but I still havn't) and he says that tapping your foot is for babies, which was quite insulting to me, actually. My dad's a big music teacher (He was Rhode Island Teacher of the Year) and he taps his foot, which basically means that Mr. Fortier was calling him a baby. The funny thing is, he looks up to my dad yet he's calling him a baby. sweatdrop Anyway, do you think tapping your foot is at all bad?

I always tap my foot, and my director encourages it. But there is sometimes a bad side, I lost points in a solo for tapping my foot loudly without even realizing it. @_@

I don't see a problem with it as long as everyone isn't doing it at the same time. I just tap my foot in my shoe when I need to.

You're band teacher needs fired... You need to learn to do that because it helps you keep the tempo in your head when you mark-time in marching band. Personally, I can't play with tapping my foot. It's literally impossible for me to play AND tap my foot. But yes, you need to keep that up! That's a very good thing! When your teacher tells you that again, tell him, "I'm practicing my mark-time!"
