What is Marching Band?
What is Marching Band?
“The activity demands physical involvement in rehearsal and performance including musical ability, muscle tone, conditioned response to music and other stimuli, simultaneous coordination of head, arms, legs,and body stature, as well as poise and control while experiencing physical and mental pressure. The mental training requires multiple levels of thought, including portrayal of moods harmonious with other performers, and understanding of why you execute each move, and advanced awareness of what the next move will be and why it is there. The cumulative result of such physical and mental discipline is a student with deeper feelings of understanding, a more disciplined focus (which finds its way into study habits in scholastic efforts), and a high level of self-confidence. Socially, members learn to function in a group while setting common goals, cooperating, and striving for success as a team.”
