__HBK__ Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 Mostly I started this thread to find out why the majority of people are in marching band. Do you just like it? Are you in it because of your friends? Why are you still in it? If none of the reasons listed here are why you're in band, feel free to post your reasons below: Quote
thePIXELelement Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 I like it for all the reasons above I love playing music and marching especially while doing it with friends. It's especially fun when all your hard work pays off at a contest...the PE Credit ain't so bad either... Quote
Fata1 Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 The main reason is because I like music. I also like the competition. Not necessarily beating everyone else because we definitely don't, especially this year. But competition is always fun. The perks are that I get a PE credit and spend a lot of time with friends.

king_kool360 Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 OH HOW I LIVE FOR COMPETITION! I thirst for a chance to get back into the ATA. I've been to only one sparring competition and came out SECOND! I've been SO devastated! Oops, I failed a class. Derrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Quote
barisaxy08 Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 at first i did it because: 1) it was an art and a PE credit 2) all my friends were gonna do it too but now my thoughts about band have changed in as little as four years Quote
whitewing09 Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 im in marching band cuz its so much fun!! like playing and marching watching different bands and different shows hearing the crowd cheer after you've had a great performance getting first at competitions watching how a show that can barely be called art turn into a great entertainment growing closer and learning more about people you knew really knew Quote
takigan Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 I don't see an option for "I have to be", which is true for me now (music majors at Sam Houston are required to take 4 semesters of marching band) as well as when I was in High School if I's wanted to be in the top ensemble in the Spring. I didn't like marching band at all in HS, I thought it was a waste of time....here at college it's a lot more fun (except for there's no competitions, which was pretty much high school marching's only redeeming quality), but it takes up a lot of free time and there's other things I could be doing here in college.

TRtrumpet Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 I do it cause I LOVE it. Sure there's alot of perks, but I really just love making music in any way I can, and marching band is the funnest! Being with the people you love, having a good time, doing something you really enjoy, all working to acheive one common goal. There's nothing better! Band/Marching band = all the best memories. Quote
Dusty Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 i joined marching band because all of my friends were in it, but now i'm still in marching band because my friends are still in it and i really like to march. PE was terrible. Quote
b_sax_agent Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 I'm in it because my parents forced to. if it hadn't been for one rehearsal, I wouldn't be in band. Quote
LikeABandNerd Posted November 26, 2007 Posted November 26, 2007 I chose "I want to be beat everyone else" even though it isn't a grammatically correct statement... Quote
the terminator Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 (edited) originally so I could take a year of band get that fine arts credit and then quit, but ever since marching I absolutely love it, and after the Spring band trip I just wait for the show music BTW, has anyone ever been to Branson, Missouri, b/c that's where we are going this year Edited November 27, 2007 by the terminator Quote
