Take a look at this naysayers. This is DCI but does the same for marching bands.

This all settles it. This should end the conversation. Proof is in the pudding.Band is just as athletic as any other sport whether anybody calls it a sport or not.Case closed!!!!

When is state?

And what a day at Forrest yesterday! Had a great time watching 22 bands but dang I was tired afterwards. Congrats to all who competed and a big congrats to Milan High School. Middle Tennessee Small Band Champs.

November 3 at Riverdale. Yeah, great day at the "rock". Thank you all for your hard work!!!

Man, oh, man!!!! I've been quite now for too long. I have to respond to this last response by cowboys.

I've got news for you, it takes knowledge in whatever you apply yourself at, so to call people nerds, you better look in the mirror. We haven't taken anything away from your sport, so DON'T even start the name calling junk!!!

Remember, Bill Gates (inventor of Microsoft Software),was called the nerd of all nerds and look at him now, the richest man on earth. Whatever you do, GIVE it your all!!!! Most of all seek the Kingdom of God FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!

It is as simple as this. Why does band exist? They exist to support the football team. That is the sole purpose of their existance. Band parents may go watch their little band geek play but no one other than that. Without football there would be no band. In fact I would bet that virtually all of the student body would rather there be no band at halftime and they get to go on field and throw the ball around like at a JV game.

excuse me but the football team wouldnt have as big a crowd if it werent for the band. band is an art a "physical activity"(cause some one will get all mad if i call it a sport) and it IS entertainment band has it all!!!!!! and if we are there to "support" the team then why dose every one hate band ppl no one hates the cheerleaders in my opinion we are easier to hear than the cheerleaders

Let's not lose sight of what school is for. Most jocks at the h.s. level won't see the light of day of playing at the college level (not a major college anyway)...so keeping the academics in order to have good things later in life is REALLY important. Most h.s. marching band players won't play in a major college marching program or as a pro musician later in life...so keeping the academics strong is important for them as well.

 

The thing is for everybody to try hard to do a good job at whatever activity and also have a good time.

There is NOTHING good about being a slacker in school.

there are ALOT of pro marching bands and musicians look up The Cavaliers they have a PRO band of more than 100 ppl and they are really good

you just said it " top because of the way they play the game" YOU COMPETE we PLAY GAMES. You dont play any games you just compete

but that is not what a sport is ALL about

your not seeing what im saying. i am saying there is no winner or loser in a band competition it is not down to two bands to play AGAINST each other your fate rest in a judges hands.

yes but you still have one band that comes out on top by the way they prefom our fate is in that just like you always have one football team that comes out on top because of the way they play the game

I think PB has given a good reason. Working hard has noting to do with it im sure you guy work 10 times harder then baseball. You guys win competitions by a judge a sport is won by how many points that team scours. How can you argue with that?

but it depends on how well you preform your show to win just like how well you play your game to get those points

your cousin??????? no you dont know its hard then cuz you have never played trust me you have no idea! No i have not marched in a REAL marching band an i would not be caught dead any were near the band not enough physical contact. From the way you people been crying about how much you have to run then march an all that crap i can tell none of YOU can cut it on a football team.

HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT WE ARENT A SPORT OR HOW HARD WE WORK IF YOU HAVE NEVER TRIED I HAVE SEEN OUR FB TEAM PRACTICE I HAVE TALKED PERSONALY WITH THE GUYS ON OUR TEAM I KNOW THAT IT IS HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!

your an idiot. an everyone that thinks BAND is a sport. what part of band do you not understand it is an ART or ENTERTAINMENT. you guys play (an by play i mean play an instrument) in competitions not games. how many games have you played an Im not talking about half time shows. i am talking about playing against another band one on one an scoring points not being judged.

every one needs to stop being so sterotypical band is an art AND a sport just because we play insturments and just because we wear uniforms instead of jersys with our names and numbers on them does not mean that we are not a sport sport is just a word but the meaning behind that word says alot why is band "not" a "sport" we work SO hard and no one realizes that and it makes me mad that no one dose so some one give a REAL reason that MARCHING band isnt a sport i mean one that no one can argue with

1, good thing you told us your a band member from cascade i dont think any one would have figured it out lol. 2 Who said yall dont compete? 3, have you ever played football? if so then you should know that the only people that work harder then the football team is the wrestling team. good day my friend

no i havent ever played football but my cousin does i know its hard but so is marching band have YOU ever MARCHED in a real marching band ? !!!!!!

i think MARCHING band is a sport just as football,soccer,baseball,ect. is. i am not saying that the others are not as hard i am just saying that we work just as hard as every one else and we are called an ART!!!!!! i could see that if we were talking about concert band but MARCHING band! we get hurt we sweat we have to remember our spots on the feild plus memorising music and holding out phrases ,which takes a whole lot off breath, and remembering if we are sposed to march backwards fowards sideways. dont let the image from movies and such fool you into thinking we dont work hard WE DO!!!!!!!!

I am a band member at cascade high school and i am tired of ppl saying we are not athletic and that we dont compete 1.WE DO COMPETE!!!!!!!!!!!!!HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF COMPETITIONS !!!!!!!!!!! 2.WE ARE ATHLETIC WE WORK AS HARD AS THE FOOTBALL TEAM!!!!!!
