[quote=Anonymous]As a former marching band kid (high school and four years of college), I'll say that it's not uncommon for the director to yell. It's a competitive thing, people put in a lot of time and honestly, the kids don't pay attention all the time and are annoying. I'm sure I was annoying. If you want to be competitive, you need discipline and marching band isn't for everyone. I don't understand the commenters who were talking about having their marching band kids sit on the sideline and watch because the director didn't like them or something. It doesn't work like that. Bands have a tightly choreographed show that requires people to be exactly where they're supposed to be. You might have a few kids serve as extras who can pop into someone's spot if they got sick or broke something before a competition, but our band usually had some extra color guard types who'd just pretend to play an instrument.[/quote]
