I was a Dork in a marching band. I enjoyed it.

Me too! (I wasn't blond but I was in band and enjoyed it.)

Sometimes I see jokes on TV about kids in band being nerds but I don't get it. Some of the coolest kids in my schools were in the bands. Including me!

So was I, for one year--but four miles of July 4 parade playing clarinet means you say "enjoyed" through gritted teeth. Same probably true for any reed instrument.

Yep

Fellow dork here!
- LB ❤s FF
I'm a bigger dork for not being part of any bands!

Marching band was probably the hardest physical activity I've done in my life to this point. Sitting in a chair (or standing for Jazz band) I could do in my sleep. Marching was a whole different animal.
- DB, Lil LB's Dad
Marching band was TOUGH on clarinet players' teeth, I lasted one season because I'm a wuss.

But I loved the uniform. And being in parades. So much fun.
- Starmama
I gotta admit I wasn't really feeling our uniforms. We looked like rejects from the 3 Musketeers. Frilly, curved feather in the hat and all. Hopefully the band has better gear now.
