 Re: How necessary is marching band?

[Entering late]

In my high school, the marching band was always bigger than the symphonic and concert band and most people in symphonic and concert band were in the marching band even though it was not required. Also, a few people were only in marching band.
Most liked marching band a lot for reasons other than just music- myself included. Many used marcing band to learn a second instrument; our double reeds went to saxophone and percussion and a lot of others switched around.
IMO- ANY exposure to live music is better than none. If kids get to play in marching band in high school, one day they might pick it up again. They will likely support their kids more in music because of fun memories. The audience at the games likes it, too. Someone mentioned that thousands hear the marching band but only 500 come to the concert band performance, but think how much less it would be if there were no marching band.
