Marching band is a beautiful game

It taught me what it means to have discipline

To work hard

Marching band is something I have spilled

Blood, sweat, and tears for

Quite literally

Marching band is a beautiful game

It’s the soreness of your muscles

And the sound of the metronome running in your head

Even at random places like history class or Walmart

The click click click of the beat

And feet stepping with it

The music ringing in my ears

“Dut dut dut”

Marching band is a beautiful game

That has changed me as a person

And I think it’s for the better.
