I call it "MUSICIAL BAND" not sport ![]() err...that was dumb. Marching band. Not band. I got a hella workout doing marching band. I mean, I lost like, 20 pounds my first year. theres lot of running, and standing out in the blistering heat. And punishments for being just a minute late for roll call were 20 pushups for every minute!! And you try walking and running around that fast having to blow into something non stop AND having soncentrate on where u are going and what you are playing. Its hella hard and u work up one hell of a sweat doing it! Plus when you learn ur places to go, we always have to run back and forth since we have to memorize EXACTLY where we are going and how many steps we have to get there and do it all in time with the music we play. Plus, u have to hold up that thing for forever, since some of our practices were over 6 hours long. Imagine being a tuba player, and walking around with 50 pounds on ur sholders when its 105 degrees outside!! Believe me, its not what it looks like. takes just as much dedication and focus, if not more, than it takes to be on the football team. And we practice much longer!! Theres so many things you have to worry about. geez. Its more than just walking around in our little uniforms sounding good. I never knew until I joined. After half time all you wanna do it die, but u gotta keep playing thru the rest f the game. Builds up lung capacity too!! Ugh. I could go on forever. grr. |
