spent an hour and a half in humid 100 degrees plus weather today marching without a break... I want to rant about the difficulties of marching band but I don't want to prove you right lol. Professional marching band is easily as difficult as any professional sport though.
Honestly not even familiar with the term lol. I'm just a 2nd trumpet for a highschool marching band. We do the normal stuff- play at football games, halftime shows, parades. We do concert band too and go to competitions for both
I don't know about matching band... but the idea that cheerleading isn't a sport....

It isn't. Just because something is physically exhausting doesn't mean it's a sport. Construction isn't a sport, yet building shit manually is really heavy
"an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature"
Cheerleading counts. Being at a competition wherein you're tossing girls and basing them constantly qualifies.

So then does construction work also qualify?

Are you competing against others right next to them to see who is better with a definitive winner or loser?

The above definition says that sports are often competitive, but it doesn't say that it's a requirement
I was in marching band, and it was great, but it is NOT a sport. I don't know why people think they have to call their activities sports in order to justify them as difficult, cool, or fun.
Cheerleading counts. Being at a competition wherein you're tossing girls and basing them constantly qualifies.
