~!~Katie~!~Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I did 4 years of competitive marching band, and I was drum major while I was in highschool!. It's amazingly fun, first of all! It's really challenging, though!. Your calves will hurt when you start marching, you will get sunburned during rehearsals, you WILL start walking everywhere in tempo(even when you're not marching, just like walking through the mall or something), and you will be out of breath a LOT!. BUT, on the other hand, your musicality will improve, as will your breath support!. You will start to understand the way the phrases of music move, as reflected in the drill movements!. You will definitely appreciate the effort of the people who do it in college, and who do stuff like Drum Corps!. Advice: wear comfy tennis shoes to practice(NOT sandals, flip flops, or anything where you can't roll your feet from heel to toe), bring LOTS of water and chapstick(your lips will probably start to hurt), be ready for a lot of practing the same thing over and over, get ready to memorize your music, and most importantly: HAVE FUN!!! We wouldn't do it if it wasn't a great time! :DWww@QuestionHome@Com everyone feels differently about marching band!.!. personally i was in it for 4 years in highschool and was the drum major my senior year!. It was extremely fun and allows you to get some very good friends!. make sure you respect your elders!.!. if a section leader or drum major tells you to do something, don't disrespect them also make sure you don't make the band director mad lol!.!. mine wasn't too fond of me the last year of high school it's a lot of hard work but when you get it nothing feels better than being awarded a superior with distinction at stateWww@QuestionHome@Com Marching Band is so much fun, you get to make so many jokes, you get a good work out and your playing improves so much!. I've been in marching band for 5 years now, I've risen up the ranks from new marcher, to section leader to drum major!. Its fun, getting to go to games free and scream at the reff!. without getting kicked out of the game!. You meet a lot of people from your school and other schools if you go to competitions!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I am going to be going into my second year of marching band next year!. I love love love marching band, but how much you love marching band depends on how intense your school is, how much you like music, and how good/fun your band director is!. Competitions are really fun, because you get to hang out with your friends and stuff!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I loved being in marching band!. It was the highlight of my high school days!. It isn't for everyone but if you have a real passion for music and love performing go for it!. If you are in a good program in your school all the better!. And being in band has nothing to do with being nerdy!. It is about musical talent and showcasing it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com My husband was in Marching Band and loved it!!!
