Clarification....

There are many musicians who are athletically fit.....and work hard
aerobically in marching band. Rarely does one find the captain of the
football, basketball, track, etc. teams in the marching band...although
many do participate in music.

I only meant that many marching bands do not challenge a person
athletically. Bill's, undoubtedly, did!
