Why does the United States have such a strong marching band tradition?
Bump
>>538512452A society needs ritual. This is often expressed in myriad ways in a culture. Somewhere along the way someone decided marching bands go with football. Something about the grid iron probably. The reason doesn't matter so much as how it makes you feel to witness the spectacle. I hear it every Friday during football season. It's kinda fun I guess.
>>538512452Cause this country has always just wanted a war
Most of Europe is filled with them so its easy to see how that carries over into Europe two
>>538512452why do you make so many fucking threads? get a facebook and shut up.
>>538512452Everyone competes to be the best so they get better and better which encourages everyone to work harder. It's a competitive self-improvement loop.
>>538515404So football and marching music always go together?
>>538516411Marching music usually accompanies football. Especially in schools because they also have band programs and such. It's not required it's just one of those things. Like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Each piece good on their own but together make something more unique.
I like how they play modern stuff too, shit is pretty epic.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plW9s8Y2CPQ
>>538516411College football. You can't have a great team without a great marching band.
>>538512452It keeps the nerds placated while the chads and groids run out to get cte and pussy
>>538519037Why doesn't the NFL do marching music before matches?
Ottoman thing? They'd kidnap kids from the Balkans and make them fight for them and play music
>>538512452They're cool
>>538520266NFL is gay niggers
>>538520266Because it's only colleges with football teams. They work together. Professional football teams have no need for them. They would be an extra cost.
>>538516411Yes.
>>538520230>to get cte and pussySometimes at the same time
>>538512452High school and college football and ritualistic warfare, of which drums are a major part.
>>538520857The whole thing is a metaphor for war
>>538520266>>538520696The Ravens have a marching band. https://www.baltimoreravens.com/fans/marching-ravens/
The Scots-Irish connection. Marching and music are a big thing in Ulster; they took their traditions with them.
>>538512452we had the chad, the myth, the legend: john phillip sousa
>>538512452With victory comes fanfare
>>538520266a few teams have a band. i think the bears are down to just a drumline
>>5385209471 out of 32. NFL teams would have to pay the marching band unless they play for free. NFL is about maximizing profits.
>>538520230>he thinks band isn't full of whores fucking each other
>>538520230marching band students get high as fuck and have giant orgies every weekend bruvmaybe they're not getting as much pussy as college athletes but they definitely fuck and they fuck a lot

>>538512452You retards don't get invited into the gymnasium in 2nd grade to pick any instrument in the world to play? I choose the violin but moved on to guitar soon after.
