Is college marching band worth it?

Question

i'm currently undecided,and am 'signed up' for marching band,but am wondering if its really worth it. if i want to audition for the music dept,i have to be in,but i don't really know what i want to do(education,political science,chem). for those who have been in one,or know someone,is it worth it?

Answer 2

the only reason i did marching/pep band in college was for the scholarship/stipend. well, that & the fact that most of my frat was in pep band. If you love going to the games & the whole culture etc. then go for it-you get into games free at least. If you are going to continue to play regardless of what major you decide, then its still a fun group. What the heck-you need elective arts credits anyway!

Answer 3

You  will love it or hate it.  It is definitely different than H.S. Usually an hour a day, and playing at home games.  Some times you travel with the team.  If you are at a major school that goes to a bowl game you will most likely go.

Some schools give you PE credit for Marching Band.

Answer 4

I also went to a school that never saw a bowl game, but I LOVED my college marching band experience.  The best friends I made from college were in band...I don't even keep in touch with my sorority sisters as much as I do with my band friends.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Idk, If you really like band do it. I personally do not like marching band, and I have a feeling im going to quit after this season. It takes a lot of commitment, and you really have to love it.

Answer 7

Do it; you'll meet a nice bunch of people and learn something about an instrument, which can lead at least to a fun sideline. Plust you get to see games free.

Answer 8

Run..now! Have you seen Drumline!!!! They may not do teh exact same thing but not far from it.
