Marching Band is a place for the nerdiest and craziest people, who think it’s fun to work their butts off in the heat of late July at Band Camp. While some of them are actually athletic and do other things outside of band, most do not have much of a life outside of it and only have friends that are also in band with them. Most Marching Band members will argue that it’s a sport, which it totally should count as a sport since the members go through as much physical pain and suffering during practices as the football team. The members have to be smart also, since you can’t play an instrument or do choreography with a flag while stepping to the beat and remembering all your sets without being at least somewhat smart. (Although most band members will argue that they are dumb, don’t believe them. Some of the smartest people in the school reside in the Marching Band.) The Marching Band is extremely under appreciated and under represented, even though they are so much better then then the football team and cheerleaders put together.
Cheerleader: Marching Band isn’t a sport.
Band member: Really? Because one of our members has a IQ twice as large as your entire squad’s. Not only that but we have to get on the field and practice for triple the amount of time that you guys have to in the heat of the summer while remembering all our sets in the field, how to play the music, and for the color guard, all the choreography. Stop dissing the Marching Band and get a life and some talent.

Get the Marching Band mug.An activity that takes up a hell of a lot of time. Sometimes it feels like burning in hell, but it feels pretty incredible when you perform your show really well. By the end of the season, you and your section and basically blood relatives. Also, just for the record, marching band is NOT a sport (even though it’s a lot more difficult than half of them).

Get the Marching Band Show Reveal Day mug."Bolivian Marching Powder" appears in Bright Lights, Big City by Jay McInerney published in 1984. The main character describes the brain and inner soldiers marching around once they've been stimulated with cocaine.
"All might come clear if you could just slip into the bathroom and do a little more Bolivian Marching Powder. Your brain at this moment is composed of brigades of tiny Bolivian soldiers. They are tired and muddy from their long march through the night. There are holes in their boots and they are hungry. They need to be fed. They need the Bolivian Marching Powder." - Bright Lights, Big City, Jay McInerney, 1984
