Question: College marching band worth it!?
At the moment I'm still a Junior in HS but in a week I'm done!. So I have 3 years of marching band and this next season I'm going to be the section leader of trumpets!.

My marching is strong and I'm a pretty decent player!. I think if I practice enough over this coming year (also hoping I can get into U of I), then I can make it in the U of I band!.

I've seen them in person and they're really really good!. I'm just wondering what is typical of college marching bands!? I like the whole HS competiviness and the gathering of schools at the competitions, but is college marching anything like that!?

I just want to know what is expected in a college marching band so I don't get my hopes up later on!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes college bands are just like that!. Colleges compete also!. And whats expected is whats expected in HS!. Just keep practicing through this upcoming year and you'll make it into U of I!. I've heard them and they're good so if your a little more than decent trumpet player you have a good chane of making it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
