 Re: How necessary is marching band?

From a current high school band student, marching band seems to be a lot of fun, but I don't think it's necessary for a musical future. I'm planning on majoring in performance/composition, and I've only ever been to marching band camp. I never even set foot on the football field with my clarinet. Marching band isn't my forte (no pun intended) because, in the case of the clarinet, you can't be heard.

It certainly won't hurt your chances, but just because you marched does not mean that someone who hasn't marched is not more deserving. You could have marched all four years, but be terrible, and then someone who's never marched can be phenomenal, and beat you out for the scholarship.

If anything, auditioning for Honor Bands/Orchestras, and competing in solo competitions can help far more than marching band can.
