Huh? I thought it was for essentially people going into HS senior year through quite a bit later.
Yes, it is an academic competition.
And I wouldn’t. Just a difference of opinion.
Cleaning the house may drain you physically, but its not a sport. And if you wear slacks while participating, its not a sport.
Looking for this ?
“The marching band refused to yield…”
– Don McLean, American Pie
You mean this is an endurance contest?
I wouldn’t personally call that sport.
But what happens if a song is repeated? Who says that band is eliminated?
Everyone. All the other bands and some of hte audience are keeping track. I don’t know what would happen if they refused to leave. Someone else would probably start playing in their turn.
And it isn’t just stationary playing either. http://youtube.com/watch?v=culmx94_npQ&feature=related
there’s a lot of “horn moves”, dancing, and such. Its like this, but for about 8-10 hours. It might not look like much, but it is pretty exhausting after about the first half-hour or so or after the excitement wears off.

There are only three sports: Football, baseball, and basketball. All the others are “activities.”

Just to clarify, I don’t care if marching band is a sport or not. It’s fun; that’s all I care about.
