I WAS, back in HS. Did it for two years before I got disgusted and disillusioned with the whole Band before academics mindset. Was very hard work, very stressful, very demanding, but in the end, it was fun. I met mostly great people, and though I do have the negative aspect of it, the positives are there, too. I learned a lot, preformed in awesome places, and the most important....got to March down Main Street for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Parade.
Why do you ask?

I too was part of the marching band. Did a two year stint in HS but had to stop because I had other activities I was involved in and couldn't devote ALL of my time. I stayed with the "regular" band and did a year in college.

I was in marching band throughout high school. It was probably one of my least favourite musical experiences, but I stuck with it because I knew I wanted to go into music education. Now I teach music at an elementary school in Annapolis, MD. ^__^ My boyfriend is currently finishing up his music education degree and is stuck doing marching band at the collegiate level. Hahah, poor guy.

Glad to see everyone here participated.
In response to EE's comment, it is a very demanding thing. I have at least 20 hours a week worth of marching, playing, and going to various football games. This saturday, I have practice from 9 A.M. to 4 P.M. (marching in the hot, Florida sun) It's all worthwhile though.
Anyway, here's some vids of my band from last for those interested.

I was back in HS. Mellophone section leader, principal French Hornist in Wind Ensemble and I was the Hornist for the schools brass quintet.
I also played in college some. I was in the Wind Ensemble and played in a brass quintet for the first few years of college before I gave it up. My major classes started getting in the way.
