Marching Band IS a part of Music Education, especially if you are a Music Ed major.
Marching band is what your directors make it. It can be a very well balanced musical experience, not all marching bands are loud and louder.
Marching band is an effective way to get funding and build support. If you play at one football game, in the south, 10,000 people will see you, if you play one concert, maybe 500 will see you. If you want to teach band in the south, and you are too good marching band, you will probably not get a job.
Marching bands give students the opportunity to arrange music, it doesn't have to be perfect in the stands.
Marching band is not one of my favorite past times, but I have done my share of it. It can be an effective teaching tool, it doesn't have to be blow you balls off loud, and corny music.
Most of the colleges in the south, UGA, UA, FSU, require at least one semester of marching band for music ed majors, and more if you want a decent scholarship.
Marching Band is just like everything, it can be anything you want it to be, as long as you apply yourself.
Concert Band is more important, but a marching band can be a valuable supplement. But the tail shouldn't wag the dog.
