Do you think marching bands have gotten better over the years or is it still a nerd thing?

Nerds rule the world, don't let keep you from making a good decision. They are still very good.

You sure ask alot of questions...\n\nBallerStatus.net: Minor question, why don't you wear your band-aid anymore?\n\nNelly: I ain't worn that band-aid in two years man. I took it off; people were more interested in the band-aid than what it was I had to say, or what was going on. It's like the band-aid was getting bigger than me. So I'm like (let's take it off). I don't know... I was using it at first to send love out to (St. Lunatic member) City Spud, who was locked down at the time, but I took it off. People were steady talking about it, so I'll tell y'all what, holla at this.

I would have to say no... yes good band, but they didnt CHANGE music. Look at Nirvana, they brought that whole underground grunge scene above ground,,they changed music.

It's just the flavor of the day.  Reality is what is hot now.  They still perform but aren't always able to get the whole band together for reunions.  I think they are at the point in their lives where they are not totally washed up but still need to put themselves out there and let people know they're still around.

I think you guys could go far. Espically with the fact that so many people are getting into local bands more now. You guys are pretty good for 16 year olds. Keep it up :)

Pretty cool back in 1998, pretty lame now.\n\nMy prediction is that no one will join them.

FAMU's Marching 100, right here in Tallahassee FL, are among the best in the world. They win nearly every competition they enter, they fly all over the world performing. They recently backed Kanye West at the Grammy's. If you can make it in, there is no better.\n\nhttp://youtube.com/watch?v=5yANhqS90mo\n\nAlso, they were much of the basis for the movie "Drumline". The film's tech advisor was a former Marching 100 member, and one member of the band was the drumming double for the movie's star. \n\nhttp://www.blackathlete.com/Collegesports/collsports062303.html

No, I've never played Trumpet, but my brother does (He's going into eighth grade next year), and he's pretty good, alot better than some high schoolers I know that play the trumpet. I highly recommend that when you go into High School, you stay in band because Trumpets dominate in band, and I garuntee you'll have fun in band. I'm not going to be in band next year, but if I was, it would be because I play the Trumpet. Please stay in band, even if you don't want to be called a "band geek". I know alot of really popular people in band, who play the trumpet.

Yeah, they were great.  Too bad they broke up.  That's what you get when uncompromising bands get famous, at least no one killed themselves.  The Mars Volta is great but I always think they're missing Sparta.  Sparta's not so great, they could use a big dose of The Mars Volta.  Make it happen boys!!  \nIt is kinda funny how, when At the Drive-In broke up, Omar and Cedric went to Mars Volta and Jim, Paul and Tony went to Sparta but as soon as Paul quit Sparta he joined The Mars Volta!

Yes, schools today teach a class on Sh*tty Music Appreciation 101 as a prerequisite of graduation.  Why the hell is Greenday still around?  I hated them in 10th grade and they suck worse than ever 12 years later.

I used to love Green Day. I still like them now, but not as much as before. Maybe I just out grew it. My favorite CD by them is Nimrod.. Their newer ones are okay, but not as good.

wow. this is gonna sound corney but be yourself. what i did going into 8th grade, i became emo and all the popular ones came to me. it was pretty cool. now i'm friends with all of them. even though preps are my mortal enemies. even though i used to be a prep but now i'm emo. so go emo/goth/punk. worked for me

Nope.\nTo see people, period, coming together is a great thing. It's changed so much over the past few decades...and will continue too. It's a beautiful thing!

No-brainer. PRE!\n\nThey took a MAJOR nosedive when the horn section became more prominent, & the cheesy movie ballads took over.\n\nThey ROCKED the way God meant em to in the 70s!

Most people don't, but I had to wear a uniform up through 8th grade, and follow a fairly strict dress code up through high school.  I don't now in college, and I'm glad for that, but I think it was really useful when I was younger.  My schools were comparatively small, and the cliques weren't fun.  It was good not to have to worry what other people would think about the clothes I wore.  Though I don't know if I would have said so at the time, I think it might also have kept us just a little more focused on the academics.

Older green day is awesome, newer green day went for that whole emo wave (no offense to anyone who is emo) which is the popular thing now! Simple plan.... i think they have maybe one or two good songs out every few years... I say TOM PETTY and the HEATBREAKERS... or maybe some GUNS n ROSES!!
