Marching band IS a sport

This isnt exactly the question you asked for topic 4 but i think it will still count becasuse i have A LOT of emotion on this subject.
People seem to think that marching band is not a sport and we just walk around a field playing, but in actuallity with the hours and intence physical demand it is a LOT harder then other "sports". One of the things i bring up is " WE have daily doubles and have to run a lot!" That of course is an INCREDIBLY easy thing to counter, durring band camp we have 12 hour days with only 2 hours of breaks! This lasts for 2 weeks in the burning sun. Last year we marched for 3 hours in 107 degree wheather. Another thing people seem to think is that marching is easy...trust me IT"S NOT!! Any one who is not in band i would like to see them try to march and end up failing terribly.
UGH well thats all the time i have to talk about this but be sure you know that i have a LOT more oppinions on this subject and would love to sit down and talk to anyone who thinks it's easy!

  1. I dont think its easy. But there are lots of sports harder then marching band. So dont over exagerate on how marching band is so hard, because other sports can be just as long and hard and take more time.

  2. No other sports may be just as hard but i garentee there is no highschool sport that is harder, and i'm not exadurating anything at all. Also i'm thinkin no sport takes more time, thats just silly.
