Marching band requires stretching and physical activity.
Sport (as decribed on a dictionary website) is described as: an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature. Athletics are involved in Marching band and it requires skill and physical work. There is also a competitive nature due to us going to compititions
THEREFORE Band IS a sport. (Case Closed) |

"Marching band is most definitely a sport. FACT. Sport(noun):an activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively -yes
Physical?check.try jazz running with a sousaphone
Skill?If marching difficult drill whith precision while playing some flambuzzadiddle swiss-dragachudda inverted cheesy taps is a skill,Id say we have it.
Rules?It usually varies slightly by region,but yes,marching band does indeed have a set of rules that each band must follow.Breaking the rules results in penalties that hurt your score at competition.
Competition?Oh yes.There are marching band competitions all over the place.You should check one out sometime.
So according to the above definition from Merriam-Webster, MARCHING BAND IS A SPORT. Next time you want to insult someone,please get your facts straight. Love, The Marching Band." |

You have to
March or Glidestep Remember you placement on the field Play your music correctly and In some cases, remember 30-40 songs in the stands.
Glide-stepping, requires everything on your lower body, so does marching. You use about 8-12 muscles in your Armature just to play the instrument You have to carry heavy instruments (brass and percussion) WHILE Remembering songs.
I honestly think that takes more skill than you give it credit for. |

Just because it is physical, takes skill, and has rules doesn't make it a sport.
So writing a story is a sport? |
