KEV-O Posted October 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Take a look at this naysayers. This is DCI but does the same for marching bands. Read post 140 and 141. That video just shows how good of shape they have to been in but being in shape does not make it a sport. Tell me what you think about those two post.

trademark777 Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 sorry but i thought post 140 and 141 settled it go back and look. It is not considered a sport it is defied as entertainment I don't see where they called it a sport. They are saying that it is just as athletic as a sport. Give in there KEV-O, Band is a very active "performing art". How ya like that? I said it, but it sure was hard to type out. /blush.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blush:" border="0" alt="blush.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Central62lions Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 If band is so hard an yall practice so much then why do yall play the same stuff all year, why not play something new? b/c we do play different things all year in the stand but like any football team who has to perfect thier defensive and offensive plays we have to perfect our movements and our tone as well as marching in step all turning in the same direction at the same time so just as you run plays repetatively in pracetice we go over our forms set by set. oh and yes band is a sport this coming from one who has mrached an instrument marched in the colorguard and played several sports the require just as much physical ability and endurace as band oh yeah this is also coming from someone who has grown up around football all her life. i never said that it was harder than football but is still a sport never the less.

Central62lions Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Here is another good one. If the band is a sport then Big and Rich are athletes. Think about it! wrong.. they stand up on stage and do as little movement as possible how much strength do you really have to exert to do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central62lions Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 sorry but i thought post 140 and 141 settled it go back and look. It is not considered a sport it is defied as entertainment and football is defined as a game not a sport. so you can't go mainly on definition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldgeek Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Marching band should be classified as either "sports entertainment" or "an intense athletic activity centered around performing arts". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
