Marching band is just as physically taxing as any other sport on campus. My school counts it as a PE credit. Students at other schools deserve that as well.

Most marching bands and winterguard groups work 10x as hard as any sport in high school.

I am in marching band and as much as people comment that it is not a sport, it is indeed a sport. We condition such as running and doing ab work and also arm strength work. We do not just walk around playing any kind of note we want , it’s far more complicated than that. At my school we even practice longer than our own football team. We’ve marched 95 degree shoes and even practiced in them. Our literal blood and sweat goes into this sport and these students should have marching band required as a pe credit. I’d like the see the administration withstand one of our practices and see how much of a “non-sport” it is.

Marching band students deserve PE credit just as much as any other sport or actual physical education class does. Students work hard and vigorously, multiple times a week. They run, do exercises, practice, etc. just like any "normal" high school sport. There is absolutely NO reason that they shouldn't receive PE credit.

I work hard and sweat and burn calories and try my hardest. Deserves a little reward other than a great show .

I am in Marching Band at my school in AZ. Being in the activity it truly life changing and requires so much hard work. Everyday of rehearsal (and any day without rehearsal) we are expected to practice everything and perform to the best of our ability. We learn so many important life lessons other people don't get. Generally band kids are harder working, on time, caring, and successful. We learn a lot about how to take care of your body and how to change your diet when involved in physical activity. Because of how much energy we expend and how much running and exercising we do to be able to perform our show- I FULLY BELIEVE that it should be considered a physical avtivy that can replace AND BE BETTER THAN P. E. : )
Thank you to anyone who read about how I feel. I hope you have a greay day!

I earned PE credit for marching band in the 80’s as did my father in the 60’s. If anything, marching band is more rigorous than ever. These kids should receive PE credit for the work they do.

Marching band is one of the hardest things a person can do and it’s so sad when it’s not supported. Others don’t understand so we need to stick together:)
