The group of musicians that get more trophies than the football team and they never get recognized
The marching band is having extra practice.
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.
My life.
"We got DRILLL!!!!!"
"can I go put some pants on?"

I love drill.
I love the way it looks, the way it feels, the way it smells the way it tastes...

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.
Go Tuba Players!! We are the best in the Marching Band!

Marching Band is the best experience you can have in your life. You make the best friends you ever will. Nobody could replace this family.
Marching Band really does work harder then football. At my school, there is a football camp. It is from 8 AM till 11 AM. The band Practices From 7AM till 4PM. Last season, 5 kids had to go to the hospital in a ambulance because the band director worked them too hard in 101 degree weather. We get a water break every 2 hours, and it only lasts 5 minutes, then it is back to work. the football players have no respect for us. We have to practice in the parking lot. If The Band director doesn't like what we are doing he makes us do this thing where we get into a push up position, but don't push up. It is harder said than done. If anyone falls, he makes us do it longer. We have practice on the first day of school. Then, we have a practice every monday and wendsday for 3 hours, friday for 5, and then after the friday practice, we have a football game to preform at. Saturdays we have a competition, and sundays we have a 9 hour practice. Oh, and for the colorguarders, like me, and then some band kids who choose to, it is a full year thing. There is winterguard. Its Not quite as brutal. In winterguard, you have 12 hour practices. The winterguard season starts BEFORE the fall guard season ends, so there is no time for a break. The end of winterguard marks the tryouts for Fall guard.The band director doesnt work us so hard because HE wants to, but because we TELL him to.

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.
