The document discusses whether marching band should be considered a sport. It provides several pieces of evidence to support this view, including that musicians in marching band report fatigue and symptoms similar to athletes after practice and performances. Studies have found that 95% of band members report fatigue and 38% report injuries. Marching band practices require the same time commitment as sports with multiple practices per week, and performances also demand physical exertion over long periods. The document argues that the physical demands of marching band meet the criteria to classify it as a sport.
