Unfortunately, I don't have a choice--in wind ensemble we are required to march a couple of times during football and lacrosse seaons with the other bands--to earn the more weighted credit (it's an "honors level" class) that comes with being a member, we have to do pep.
I'd also prefer orchestra or wind ensemble, but between pep and marching it's a hands down PEP. Playing outside is awful anyway, but at least in pep we don't have a uniform and we can just sit around and hang out during play. Granted, the music is stupid, but the better marching band music is butchered by the other bands that play with us. Wind ensemble plays alone for pep so we play worse music better. We don't have a competitive marching band as there isn't enough interest--it's just a requirement for all of the different bands. Perhaps that's part of where the dread comes from. Not to mention that on our area's annual Memorial Day parade it's never less than 90 degrees and the uniforms are gawd-awful hot.
