Now many core style marching bands hate showstyle marching bands because we dont understand the hard work it takes we think its just walking across the field but I'll be the first to admit I couldnt do half the stuff core style marching bands do with all the precision and playing with good dynamics and tone quality while moving on the field

now showstyle is more about entertainment core style is about the beauty of the music in motion in showstyle we get away with a hell of alot more core style (well a good band) the lines are straight the formations are perfect they will get called out if those things aren't right now alot of people have this misconception that one is easier than the other and me being in a showstyle marching band I'll admit it is much easier than core style having my small experience with it

I shouldn't have said VS because neither wins its a matter of opinion I dont think 1 is better than the other

your thoughts on this

(side note these were just some thoughts in my mind so thats why it might not make sense or seem scattered or random it)

Well, I REALLY like show bands when they perform. The visuals that they do are really great and, out of the ones that I've seen, they focus A LOT on the music. I got tingles down my spine!
But core style bands are great too! It's the precision that's so amazing!
And I'm kinda biased cause I play in one. 4laugh I still think marchings bands, either way, are awesome.

I love watching show bands and i love watching corps band.
I hate hearing people bickering over which is better.
Most hardcore showbands drumlines have teachers from DCI and they work just as hard as corp bands.
It's good to see that the people who have posted so far have said positive things about both styles.
We're all in marchingand and we all know how hard it is to do what we do.

Oh and Drumline is one of my favorite movies <_<
and i saw the DCI championships when they played it in the theaters >_>
