How competitive is marching band?

<p>I absolutely loved my band life in high school but at the same time I absolutely suck at playing my trumpet. Do they accept people who can't play?</p>

<p>I don’t know much about the band but its my understand that they always need to people to be random/crazy…so i imagine there are people that can’t play instruments that still participate? </p>

<p>not sure at all though :P</p>

<p>It’s not competitive at all. It’s a scatter band. They’ll accept anyone.</p>

<p>Nice, I had the same question. That’s one thing I don’t have to worry about ;)</p>

<p>Now it’s just the whole getting in thing…</p>

<p>thank you :)</p>

<p>Can you make formations clearly? Then you are overqualified! [YouTube</a> - LSJUMB - Arizona 2008 Halftime](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4dlgnSdE5I]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4dlgnSdE5I)</p>

<p>You don’t even have to know how to play an instrument. They’ll teach you, or they’ll let you just fake it if you just want to dance around on the field while holding a tuba.</p>

<p>Ahhh that’s why I love Stanford! It’s all about the spirit!</p>
