What Is Marching Band A Sport

When the typical person thinks of sports they think of football, baseball, or basketball. While those are all great sports, what about those sports that aren't classified as sports, but should be? Marching band should be considered a sport for many reasons. Marching band teaches many of the same lessons that can be learned through sports, such as: dedication, academic responsibility and the importance of physical health. I have gained knowledge of these things through marching band. With that being said, I feel that I would be a great candidate for this scholarship.
Early in the summer, my band program starts our two-a-day physical abilities program. We, in most cases, are outside in the sweltering heat learning how to condition ourselves.
