Marching Band should always be considered a sport!!

I live in Texas, and our schools have already adopted this policy, and I think it really benefits the students on the band. Marching band takes just as much, if not more, discipline and practice than most sports. Approving this would really help the students in the band. At least, it does for us.

Marching band and Colorguard are the "SPORT of the Arts" they truley deserve to have PE credits since they do so much already

Marching band does just as much, if not more than the football team, bowling, swimming, etc. I don't not understand why we cannoy consifer it a sport. My school accepts it as gym credit as well.

As a mother who had 2 students go through high school band and One that is in college band I absolutely agree marching Band could/should be credited as a PE class. The students work as long or longer than some athletic teams.

Our marching band has PE credit and I'm shocked to know it's not the same elsewhere

As a fellow student who is in marching band, more specifically colorguard, I think it most certainly should count as a P.E. credit.

Marching band is both mentally and physically grueling. Especially marching hours on end on blacktop in the heat. I got more exercise in one week of marching band then I did the entire year of PE my freshman year.

My high school currently gives 1/2 a PE credit for each year of Marching band we participate in.

Absolutely agree. Go to the board meetings and demand this be changed. Remember, parent/ people power

Marching band takes numerous amounts of skill, determination, and physical effort therefore it should count for PE credit.

MARCHING BAND IS MORE DIFFICULT THAN PE

Marching programs are loads of physical exertion, and should be treated as such. It makes you stronger, and helps you to take care of your body. All things that a standard gym class do anyway.
