Well, I thought +Kay Hill was pretty spiffy even before that, but let me direct the question (and article) over to her for her thoughts.

10 Reasons Being In Marching Band Makes You A Better Person
Perseverance in the face of adversity…and polyester.
+Kay Hill's comments:
1. Definitely a band person, after the comments about clothing.
2. But a bit cliche.
3. But some good points.
4. Marching band provides a sense of belonging, especially in periods of awkwardness or depression.
Hehehe! My daughter's band is going to state competition in Indianapolis on Nov. 7th. They kicked ass in the regionals. I love what marching band has done for her. Between her Tae Kwon Do and band, she has turned herself at 16 into a mature, hard-working, beautiful and brilliant young woman.
Band rocks!
