I want a Tumblr best friend. Reblog if I can go on your page and write stupid things in your ask box whenever I’d like to.

And I’m not just talking about marching bands that you see in parades, either. Marching bands take a lot of crap, and they are underappreciated as well. If you go to a marching band competition, you can see that each member of the band poured their heart and soul into their field show. Marching band has a lot of physical (playing and breathing through their instruments, visuals, and a lot of marching) and mental work (memorizing music, remembering where to go at a certain time, marching with proper technique, and watching the conductors). A lot of marching bands are treated like armies; they learn discipline and teamwork. It confuses me when something that requires a lot of time and effort, like marching band, isn’t considered a sport yet an activity that requires mostly pure luck and little to no actual physical effort, like poker, is considered a sport.
