First of all this is a forum questioning if band is a sport. On such forums you are to state your opinion about the topic. Therefore I am stating that BAND IS NOT A SPORT. Yes you can sub in a game, But with smaller division schools good substitutes are very rare. Also you must train to be able to stay in the game for it's entirety.Secondly who said band was a geek thing? That is a generalization that i did not make. I used to be in band i considered it a club. I don't however consider myself a geek.Nor are there many people in our band with that label. There are very popular kids in our band one of which is running for our homecoming. Now, how many geeks do you know on homecoming? We have a disagreement. That's OK you are entitled to your opinion "Trademark" feel free to state what you believe to be true. Your alliance lies with band kids. Awesome. I on the other hand would not like to lower the standard of what is considered a sport to such a low degree.
