School Band Should Be A Sport

School Band Should be a Sport Bands such as Marching bands, Concert bands, Brass band, Percussion ensemble, Front ensemble, etc. should compete with other schools in the the same category & win the name “ Best Band in every county.” All I’m saying is it's time to show the people what bands can do as a sport. Every athletic thing (including, basketball, football, soccer, archery, volleyball, tennis, etc.) is considered a sport. Then there’s band which is consider to be an activity. The schools can be really popular or famous if there bands is the best in the county. At my school Madisonville North Hopkins High School, it's really famous for their, classes & clubs but it's main activities are sports (for example: Every Tues. and Thurs. nights, I play the cymbals with the rest of the band for our school’s basketball games.) I always wondered “ Why is basketball considered to be a sport but not band.” Seriously why not it's just like basketball, they have to practice
Each Marching Seasons, a group of bands from each county must compete against other bands in different counties and try to win a trophy for their schools & become, “ The best Band in the county.” For MNHHS, we practice in the heat, cold, rain, & mud for about 3 ½ hours. Band itself is all about choreographed movements throughout every performance from the little sports games to the gigantic super-bowl competitions. Unfortunately, some people will say that it is an activity. Some people would say, “ I’d like to see a football player put his feet into some marching shoes.” Besides, they work harder than any football team & the physical demands is almost pale in comparison. Without a doubt that Marching Band is definitely takes up as much time as most sports do and you have to have a lot of talent to do
