Do any of you think that Marching Band should be considered a sport??
I am a Trombone player and low brass section leader(lieutenant) and I work my section with laps, pushups, situps, crunches, everything(and im the only girl lowbrasser, lol)...but for some reason some people think that Marching band people dont work that hard and dont consider it a sport...I believe that if a group is doing something that requires strenous practice, hard work and determination then it should be a sport...(just like cheerleading is now considered a sport, lol)
so give me feedback ok

well go to this article which i received from a friend recently about cheerleading..
http://www.usatoday.com/sports/_stories/2002-04-26-cheerleading-cover.htm
now in this story it states that as many as 20 STATE HIGH SCHOOL ORGANIZATIONS say that cheerleading is a sport...so im wondering why cant marching bands be considered a sporting activity when cheerleading can be by so many....lol.

No.....While a marching band is a very ATHLETIC thing to do....calling it a SPORT is outright ridiculous..... I respect all you marching band peeps out there....hell, i even saw DRUMLINE......i cannot sit here, and let you guys call this activity a sport, as athletic which you may be.
