+269 Marching band: yes, it's time-consuming, but you will never find this kind of family anywhere else you go, amirite?

My track team is the closest thing I have to a real family. I love them all. We are so close-knit.

Gymnastics is like my second family. I'm there more than I'm at home.

Now I miss marching season again. But when you march with choreographed moves, and often a logn distance in a set, and in guard dance and spin, everyone gets pissed at everyone but everyone connects so much. It's amazing. Haha

I know. Haha. I love competition season. I mean, don't get me wrong, parade are great too, but it's not the same. During shows, you not only connect with your fellow band members but you also connect with the crowd..that's something that you'll never forget :)

My middle school's jazz band is just like that. It's really sweet.

Well, I've never been in the military, but I'm sure they're close too. :)

I only say no because Crew/rowing is the same way, so it's not just marching band.

Me too! I always have dreams about the feeling you get when you're marching a show. It sucks. And plus my marching jacket is my favorite jacket and I can't wear it until March, haha

The post didn't say you can't find extremely close families anywhere else, it said that there was nothing like the one you get from marching band which is true, and there is nothing like the family you get with track, theatre or the military. They're all close but in different ways. Marching band is just that weird crazy family that all the other ones tell there kids to stay away from.

Yep! There is just something about spending at least 5 hours a day with your fellow band mates in the beating hot sun. The great thing about marching band (at our school at least) there is such a variety of people in the band. We have people that are jocks, ap students, popular people, nerds, and not so popular people. It is a very diverse but good group of people. All of my best friends are in band.
