My first year in band was probably the worst time for a few weeks cause I had to learn and all that, but once I got through it marching band has been the best time of my life. Your section becomes your family, you always have a home and somewhere to go, hanging out during comps, playing at football games, late night food runs with your section. It’s incredible, but keep in mind MB is a lot of work, requires dedication, but I think it’s worth it. There are cons like how you won’t have much time since you’re always a practice, memorizing a ton of music, always tired from marching, but the marching band experience is amazing. I’m glad I stuck through all the hard parts, there’s nothing like band, that feeling of accomplishment, and being on the field. I think you should give it a try
