Wait, I must have not been clear or something because you're saying I said the opposite of what i really said!

A firm grounding in literature IS essential. That was the point. Likewise, a firm grounding in ALL musical areas is essential. That includes marching band. Just because an instructor doesn't feel a player will ever be in a orchestra, does he tell the dude to skip orchestral excerpts? Of course not. Every musical style, including marching band, presents a challenge that makes one better at everyhting in general. That's what high school and college is all about. Giving you the foundations for success.

Sorry about the tone of my last post.
