The king of all sports.
All participants are expected to have god like powers of concentration, balance, dedication, playing ability, endurance, pain tolerance, memorization.
All band kids have no life.
Serious.
It's one big family.
With plenty of incest.
In fact band kids tend to date band kids exclusively.
I wouldn't recomend dating a band kid if your not in band simply because they would think of band about ten times more than you.
Much better thatn football.
You wouldn't get respect from your school even if you were the national champs.

In my opinion, the hardest working people at a football game. We practice as many days as we can make sure we do our best, our very best, get our marching show perfect during half-time. We also want play good and sound good so we can make our school proud to have such a great band and go to marching competions. I just want to point out that marching bands are NOT nerds and geeks who have nothing better to do, but regular students who enjoy playing in the band and marching.

the absolute only reason ANYONE goes to a football game... to see the beautiful people marching around in circles playing rockin music

n. and adj.
Marching band, simply, is a group of people who play certain types of musical instruments - notably, brass, woodwinds, drums/percussion - and march with them.
Some marching bands are comprised of people who have written these other Urban Dictionary definitions. Some marching bands are comprised of people who are offended by these other Urban Dictionary definitions, which in either case are describing far more than simply marching band.
Marching band, as a genre, is not limited by the season of the year; school, organization or community membership; age of the individual performer; musical selections or styles; and most obviously, level of devotion, values, character, focus, as well as hype or other nonsense. Just as there are good and bad performances, there are good and bad marching bands and good and bad members and players. All of these variables are determined by the individual marching band's membership, requirements and leadership/organization (or lack).
The general reader is advised to learn about marching band from people who are excited about marching and the playing of musical instruments, and ignore input from those who need or prefer to focus on other alleged characteristics.
Marching band instrumentation became focused on the three instrument classes of brass, woodwinds and percussion due to the combination of increased portability, durability and ability to be heard both indoors and outdoors. There are other sorts of instruments - notably strings, such as violins and guitars, and larger percussive instruments, such as pianos and harps, which are welcome in indoor orchestra halls but never became popular as a part of bands due to problems with durability and portability. Woodwinds are an instrument class which are sometimes eliminated from marching bands for these reasons, and such marching bands are more properly termed brass bands due to being comprised solely of brass and drums/percussion. Alternatively, woodwinds are often valued by other marching bands, whether due to the quality of their indoor woodwind players, their contributions to the total sound of the band in all settings, the desire to be inclusive to all members, or combination thereof. Such outdoor portability and performance utility no doubt contributed throughout history to the formation of what we know as a band, which can perform well both indoors and outdoors without a large scale change of instrumentation.
Marching band was developed by people who played instruments indoors who wished to play and perform outdoors, as well as people united by other interests and associations who chose playing band instruments as an activity. Examples of the former are musicians who play trumpet, saxophone, drums, etc.; examples of the latter include fraternal organizations and businesses (such as those who built the British brass band movement in the 1800s, or those seeking a method to advertise their name such as the USA's Goodyear Community Band).
"Marching" can range from a group of individuals merely walking together to the most perfectly uniform and military-styled precision, in step and in time with the music. The term "marching" is sometimes misused to signify other forms of outdoor performance.
In addition to the music makers, marching bands may have auxiliary units such as drill teams, dance squads, honor guards, color guards and other sections associated with them. These other sections may or may not be considered an integral part of the marching band, again depending upon the individual marching band.

Marching bands have developed in most countries over the past two centuries as a way to provide live music to listeners, both indoors and outdoors.

Months of physical excretion that pushes even the best band student to their breaking point. It consist of a series of vocal commands such as gush and go, rep it again, and set this dot.

Marching band student: What do you call running, marching and standing for three hours strait?!

1.That thing that consumes so many people's lives. It's usually fun until the director(s) piss you off. It may or may not be a sport.
2.Those dudes at every football game who aren't the players and wear funny clothes.
3.Those seemingly geeky kids, who are somehow more likely to get laid than you.

Those kids who show up to every game, play (mostly)decent music, travel a lot, and may even get credit in school for it are with the marching band.
