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 Bandmug. CONTINUED FROM #6:
If you have some grace and musical talent(not all guards have this, but ours do and 80% of us play all sorts of musical instruments{most are 1st-3rd out of 5 or more chairs in Concert/Symphonic Band/Choir/Orchestra/Guitar class in their section or have ability to be in more than two instrument sections} and WE GOT RHYTHM AND EXPRESSION like no one's business... kinda required from everyone...lol) then good for your guard.
WE ARE NOT CHEERLEADERS/TWIRLERS. In order for our school's cheerleading team to "look" good while performing, they need to have certain and various amounts of body control, balance, muscle, body awareness, timing, and smiles. These are not hard once you get them down but these are NOT EASY either. NOT ALL GUARDS HAVE THIS but ours do- according to this at some level, we get along with the cheerleaders and we appreciate each other.
Twirlers... I have no exact idea who they are so i can't judge them...
All i know is that twirlers twirl.

Get the Marching Band Show Reveal Daymug. A family of mentally insane teenagers who love each other more than life itself but also hate each other at the same time. Every band has a special unsaid connection with each other that can’t be broken, unless someone drops out of band. Then the band kids will make sure they are miserable for the rest of their lives. The band kids have many inside jokes from bus rides and football games, and it annoys the hell out of non-band kids. Join band, you’ll love it, but be warned, there is no escape.
“I love marching band!”
“I know right! It was so funny on the bus when one of the rookies was talking about how he owns a thong.”
