DEFINITION OF A SPORT:

"an activity involving PHYSICAL exertion and SKILL that is governed by a set of RULES or customs and often undertaken COMPETITIVELY."

PHYSICAL: Yes, have you ever tried jazz running with a sousaphone?

SKILL: Of course. Having to march in perfect step with the rest of the band, as well as making music at the same time, not to mention having to get to the right spot.

RULES: It varies by region, but yes, marching band does have rules to it. If rules are broken, that can cost you points in competition.

COMPETITIVELY: There are marching band competitions everywhere, just look for them.

Marching Band IS MOST DEFINITELY A SPORT.

By going by this criteria, you sir are correct.

But it isn't.

That is that.

Man, all of these arguments against Marching Band not being a sport are poor. I bet none of you would be able to make it through one set of a song :P

*facepalm*

Marching Band is not just about playing music. There's staying perfectly in step with 40 other people, and getting to each position at the right time, whether it be jazz running or even sprinting on some occasions. It takes athletic precision. Playing the music is only half.

I'm not even talking about orchestras anyway.

There are "Battle of the Bands" that have rules, physical exhursition (try singing top of you're lungs for like 5 songs it can black you out, I'd know) and it takes skill....

Battle of Bands aren't sports...

Music isn't a sport its a whole seperate thing.

I love Music MORE then sports too.

Fuut, I understand your point. But these "battle of the bands" competitions aren't really in organized leagues. Marching Bands actually have leagues and competitive seasons.

Kaptain, my school's Marching Band is only in its 3rd season. You should talk to your band director and other kids in your band to form a marching band.

So far, the arguments for it NOT being a sport are:

-"it's not a sport."

You have no arguments, you fail.
