Marching band is a BAND (not sport) that marches in formation while playing music.
The real truth
1. football games are not for you. You don't matter at all. People come for football. You guys are to keep the fans slightly entertained while the football players take a small break.
2. you are sick perverts. You make jokes about fingering and positions.
3. You are not hot. Girls, you are ugly cows. Guys, you are either fat loosers or skinny twigs. The only way you are getting any is from other bandies. I don't know about your school, but in mine, bandies hook up a lot and I vomit inside at some of the couples. I do not get laid a lot but when I do, it is usually an 8,9, or 10. MAYBE a 7. Not like the 4s and 3s in band. Reason why band bus have no lights is because no one wants to see that.
4. Your summer trainings are not that hard. We start practice an hour before you guys (5am) and end at 8. Thats practice. Then I lift weights for an hour THEN go for a long distance run THEN a swim. Yea walking around all day... not as hard as RUNNING all day.
5. Band letters do NOT count. you DO NOT deserve to wear one with a band letter
In conclusion, you are disgusting. You think you are better then everyone
Bandie: Oh My God! Marching Band is so cool! we are so much more tough then football! our girls are so much hotter! We get a lot of pootang!
Player (any sport): uh ok... sure... (as the actually attractive girl walks by and checks out the handsome player)

The place in school where all the losers who think their special because their in Band go to get "friends." They somehow hate band but still do it anyway even though they everyone hates them because all they talk about is band and nothing else.

The best band in the world; a band that no one can beat
In class A, the champion is the Alter Marching Band!
An organization welcoming people who blow their noses loudly during class or in other public places resembling sounds made by various band instruments including trumpets, low brass, and woodwinds.
"Dude, Matt blew his nose so loudly he could have joined the Allergy Marching Band."
That time period after marching band season when you don't know what to do with your life. It usually begins towards the end of November, leading to weight gain due to the upcoming holiday season and lack of regular exercise that one had previously.
Man, I'm having serious marching band withdrawal right now. I don't start my homework on our old rehearsal days until 9.
What is a band kid? Is it a kid who is in band? Yes. Is that all there is to it? No.
I come from a band of 47 members in a rather rural community. Understand that participation in the marching band is optional for regular band members, so everybody present WANTS to be. As a result, we take pride in what we do.
I am our band's Drum Major, and as any member of our marching band will tell you, we love to make music. We love to make music. Then, we love to run around on a football field and do cool stuff at the same time. We also love each other, most of the time. Hopefully now I have begun to paint the appropriate picture in your mind of our band; we function the way we do because we love it.
I can't generalize what every band or football team does; every group is different. There are hard working bands and hard working football teams. There are also lazy bands and lazy football teams. Therefore, the only thing I can factually present is how MY band functions.
End of school: new show announced, band director's
writing it, PRACTICE YOUR HORN.
Early July: music starts coming out to members via
internet, memorization begins.
Mid/Late July: music rehearsals. lots of 'em
Beginning of August: BAND CAMP!
Week 1: 9-9. section leaders typically call you in
by 8. drilling marching, commands, drill on
blacktop. sparse water breaks. if any. lunch.
under 45 minutes total. assorted sectionals,
music rehearsals, and a goofy game or two to
break up the intensity. outside again, drill,
instruments. dinner. outside, drill, instruments.
Week 2: 9-5. same as week 1, only with fewer
breaks and no games. mostly outdoor.
THEN: during school, we practice Tuesday-Friday till 6, except on Fridays when we have home football games, then we have practice till we eat supper and then we're at the game till 10.
AND THEN?: competitions on Saturdays. a lot. when there isn't a competition, there's a practice.
Oh yeah, we basically have a blast while we do it too. How about that?
Nobody can tell me we don't work hard. Beyond work, we leave part of ourselves on the field every performance. Music is emotional, and if your very soul isn't put into the music, you have nothing. We have something, and it's beautiful. Seriously.
Some people say marching band kids don't have lives. Oh, but yes. Yes we do. It's called being a part of something bigger than yourself. It's called music.
That marching band kid's sweat grosses me out.
What a marching band kid, he's walking in step to the music in the mall!

Marching Band PTSD is when you have gained PTSD from Marching Band. Itβs could be from messing up or dropping during a performance, or it can be a little thing like showing up late for practice. There is always a consequence for everything.
Me: I had a nightmare. I think itβs from my Marching Band PTSD.
Friend: What Happened?
Me: I was doing drill and I forgot my music.
