Performing at games is the main point of marching bands. Who wants to be in a band that can't perform?


It probably says a lot more about me than I want it to, but I was in a Big 10 marching band and didn't really care about the performances. I mean, it was enjoyable, but I might have done it even if we did all the same long rehearsals of the performances (we memorized the drill and music for ~7 shows a season) and then just went to the games as a pep band.


Indeed. This is the same playbook UVA used to kill its wonderful, creative, beloved Pep Band not so long ago.
