Marching band is way better than concert band. I thought it would suck because I was used to the suckiness of concert band but it doesn't. You should try it.

nope, it isn't for me. soccer all the way. and plus man, all you do is move stuff, you don't even play an instrument (well, not this year)

EDIT:That's right, you played trumpet for a while in Elementary. I remember (well, I think I do)

Alright Broken Angel I'll admit it. Marching band is cool. I'm just kidding. I saw them practice one time, it is pretty awesome. I just don't know if I really want to be in it or not. I used to take piano lessons and I enjoyed it at first but then I came to hate it, but strangely enough I am thinking about starting another instrument again. Preferably Keyboard, piano, or xylaphone (sp?) and my mom has suggested joining marching band to me and so have numerous others. I'm just still not sure.

EDIT: Man Angel, what did you eat for lunch? The plant next to me just died from your noxious fumes.

You remember well PhAnToM, he did. I think he still has it or at least he did last winter. He woke me up with it one time when I was at his house. Annoying little something that I can't find the right words for

this is my 1st post, but i was in marching band, middle and half of high school. i was first chair trumpet throughout middle and second only 2 a senior in high school. i personally think marching band is so Damn stupid and boring that i couldnt stand it. i am a JROTC person (im in tenth grade), and incase u dont know what that is, it is Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps. (unfortunatly, its army and not marines) if u have one at your school, you will know, cause they were "pickle" uniforms or other military style uniforms or bdu's.

oh yeah, i know it isn't physical. but, i mean, you should see our schools marching band. they are friggin good. they moved up a division every year in the finals thingy (i don't know what you call it) and won each time. and it is like the only thing in our school that ever wins so, you know. and yes, i prefer physically challenging sports (soccer) more, that is why i don't do it.

I still think...after all that yelling...marching band isn't that physical...if it was physical why are all these scrawny and obese people in it?


you try marching in form at a pace of 168 bpm...it's not that easy, especially with a huge drum strapped to your chest

iu am not saying it isn't, i know it is carrying an instrument that long. i am just saying that soccer is more. try running sprint after sprint in practice, getting pushed the hell out of in games (and look how small i am man 5"2" and 105 lbs). running miles isn't easy, let alone the 6 miles we ran up west hill included. don't worry, i am not ragging on band. i am in it for crying out loud. i would be a hypocrite if i did.

There are no irrelevant quotes of historical figures here. Neither will you find any links, chain posts, memes, clan advertisements, self-promotions, or the tiniest of ASCII pictures.

So go away.

Ah you're not that small PhAnToM. Besides, you can beat just about anybody at Halo and other games. Who cares how tall you are. We (your friends) certainly don't.

I've seen those things. They look more like instruments of torture if you ask me, I don't know how you stand being in them for hours on end.

Marching band was in the title, if you didn't want to read about it why did you click it? And why didn't you stop after reading the first post? Don't blame us for your mistakes. I have no sympathy for you. But when you post on a thread you should at least have the decency to leave your attention seeking tendencies on the main page, and not take up memory on Bungie's servers with useless crap like this.

whats not comfortable is holding an instument up at the play position while marching and trying 2 blow air in the horn, all the while hitting the right notes and not tripping on n e thing. yes, i refer back to the trumpet, and the hell it is to march and play compared to a bass drum which may b heavier, but is easier to play.

the drum is not that much easier to play...we don't need to start flaming each other because we don't play the same instrument
