Usually noticed as a talented and hard-working musical group, Band, to the participants, see it as a cult. In a traditional marching band period, what happens there is pretty much grinding on drill, or the form of the players/actors/color guard, the whole time, with an occasional cup of ice. There the band rules out the weak and puts them as alternates, or, literally, pawns used only in emergencies. Working on the music is more or less vigorous, with the poor drum major trying his/her hardest to direct while band plays. Old ladies screaming at you about tone and support is another plus, along with whoever wants to bang our heads against the wall with rhythm lectures. And who can forget good old MUSIC THEORY! oH gOsH tHe TuBas
Band is pretty much survival of the fittest both musically, mentally and physically, and it all comes together to make a show.

Get the Marching Band mug.That feeling you get when marching season is over and you really miss it. You actually have free time now, but at what cost? It's when you really miss late night football games, and contests, and being with your band family 24/7, and sometimes you get so desperate you even miss band camp and all the hours of exhausting rehearsal.
Symptoms include excessive crying, watching past show videos, playing through old show music, and just standing on the marching field for no apparent reason.

Get the marching dust mug.An activity where people who aren't in it call them geeks, and judge them. Marching Band (MB) kids work their butts off, and compete against other great bands. Some bands even compete on a National level. MB IS A SPORT. In Marching Band you must watch your drum majors and A.L.W.A.Y.S. be in step!
Did you see those kids in the Marching Band last weekend? They placed first and were in step the whole show!
