Well, I know that one of the reasons I so dislike marching band is
because I live in Florida, and the weather is horrible for the whole
week of band camp, and all our afternoon rehearsals. It takes so much
time, and a lot of it is idlely standing around while certain groups
work on their portion of the drill. At least in concert band, when
someone else is working with the director you are sitting in an air
conditioned room. (An added bonus is having a clarinet on your lap, as
opposed to holding a sousaphone.)

I don't mean to sound totally negative on the subject, and marching band
has it's enjoyable moments. But, if I didn't have to march, I wouldn't.
