Why do people consider marching bands to be soo dorky? I mean... we have to work real hard to perfect our shows and it seems that no one appreciates that. I dunno... what is your opinion?

I don't consider them dorky, nor have I ever been in a marching band, but I can see why some might consider them dorky. This is because it seems to be a basically pointless activity done by people who are looking to get some attention.

i am in the marching band at long beach poly high school, which is famous for its music and sports, having earned two grammy awards and being called the best school for sports (specifically football) in america.
im pround to call myself a band geek. the problem is, people completely underestimate the rigor of being in the marching unit. they can't comprehend how much effort is put into a great marching band. one video of DCI would change their opinion. i seriously doubt even the football players at my school couldve lasted a week in band camp (6 hrs of marching a day. i have a very lean figure, and even eating 5000 calories a day during band camp i still didnt gain weight.) ive got more muscle mass then some of the kids on the football team!
i can understand why it frustrates you. like everyone else, whenever we put a huge amount of effort into something, we seek recognition for it. fortunately for me, my school has a very strong reputation, and we are also very proud of all our sports and music programs. i am happy that the people at LBPHS are very supportive of our marching band.

i'm so happy such numerous hassle-free human beings know what heaven is like. right it extremely is a Q, Jeff: Does conviction (ie, understanding each and every of the solutions to those no longer hassle-free 'spear-it-chu-aawl" Qs) make life nicely worth residing? i will't ask those Qs reason i'm getting stated by skill of trolls and it wrecks my solutions grade factor nicely-known. the belief of one's condtion in a heavenly afterlife relies upon on despite in case you're a nondualist, qualified nondualist, or a dualist. i'm a nondualist (I won't get into defining those words right here) yet maximum human beings in this website are dualitsts and Westerners such that they are very fastened on ego-expertise and become attentive to with being a character that they desire persists after dying. "Flaws" are no longer flaws in line with se yet idiosyncracies of character and ego-expertise and are in simple terms phenomenological stuff to be taken gently fantastically whilst one distinguishes between the mask of the ego-character and the underlying greater or "floor expertise" (Ie, "God"). The veritable mystic (east and west) distinguishes between the ego-expertise and the underlying greater expertise, which isn't a character and it extremely is asserted to pass beyond the senses and sense products (ie, duality and concern-merchandise relationships.) Technically--philosophically speaking, according to frequently jap philosophical texts on the priority--which like the solutions in this string (which contain mine) are all hypothesis -- a soul could persist as a special entity and traverse Heavens and different nation-states or could finally quite divorce itself of its identity with phenomenology (call and sort, "reliable point, and great distinction of all varieties) and merge into the floor expertise.

Yes, it IS hard work. At times I don't even know how you folks do it especially with playing your instrument,alignment,staying in step,and then to remember your routine. I'd most likely bump into somebody,then trip and fall and end up shoving my instrument down my throat.
