Band isn't, but marching band is

I don't think it is. I mean, I'm not saying it's not hard, I'm not saying it's not athletic, and I'm not saying I could do it. But I don't really think it is. I think for something to be a sport, there has to be a standard way to judge it. (ie. while gymnastics, dance, and marching band are all difficult, there's no way to judge them w/o using opinions.) Also, I'm probably prejudiced-- if I hear, "OH YEAH?!?! WELL LETS SEE YOU GO TWENTY YARDS IN TWELVE COUNTS, BACKWARDS!!!" one more time, I will murder someone.

If you've ever looked at how they score dance, gymnastics, and band competitions, I think you'd see that there is a standard way to judge it. Sure, there will be a bit of opinion, but what about refs who have to make the call on a touchdown? That will never be 100% accurate either

Dance and ESPECIALLY marching band are not sports. Why do you guys pine to be considered athletes? We aren't disrespecting you, but they just aren't sports.
