In high school, a student will learn much more than they had in Jr. High. There, in the band room and taking a playing test, I realized how much more work I had to do. The other big transition was Marching Band. Put marching with playing and you've just thought up something that's almost impossible. I hated marching band to the fullest, but that's not to say I didn't learn anything from it.
Teamwork is one of the greater aspects of marching band.
It is also one of the greater virtues a person can have. Marching Band teaches teamwork by requiring participants to walk and play notes together, in time. Leadership Leadership skills are needed by at least one person in every team. Leadership is taught by being a role model for those who are behind you. This means that marching band not only teaches leadership, but also the fine art of taking orders.
