I hate when people say it's not hard but they've never tried it. Make them survive one day of band camp and they'll take it back.

Band camp is hardcore. I saw burly senior guys fall at the wrath of band camp. Marching is a skill, not everyone can do it. Most people can't even play an instrument, let alone march in tempo, correct foot forward while trying to remember a whole drill.

@845724 (BeatleBabe): i've been in marching band all four years of high school. I agree it's challenging but it's not near as hard as most sports. Seriously, i don't hate on band as i said before i'm in it but still...

Physically, maybe not, but mentally it's not for everyone. There are seniors I know who still can't march on time. Memorizing music and drills was never my forte (hah).

At my school, they make you run laps before you practice.

@846086 (Encore93): That's ridiculous. I would quit. My old band got third at state every year for the past 3 years and we have never done that crazy stuff.

They also make you go to school from 6:30 A.M to 5:30 P.M. D:

Us too, and if we mess up, we have to do pushups.

I tried it. It was boring. Hated it.

You get a little feeling of accomplishment when only the top half of your face is sunburnt from standing at attention during summer practices. Ah, memories.
