Jeff, I was a HS band director for 3 years and have been an Army bandsman for over 10 years. While in college, I was in marching band all 4 years and even spent one season with the Spirit of Atlanta drum and bugle corps. I must say I read all of the postings on this topic with great interest. I hope my comments will be agreed upon by most. Music is about enjoyment and fun, not only for the listener, but also for the performer. Never lose sight of this fact. If performing in the marching band is enjoyable to you, then do it. While I understand your teacher's hesitation, his/her main concern should be to guide and mentor you, not to make your decisions for you. Don't look back with regret. Make your choices, live your life and have fun.
