Why is marching band not considered as an athletic activity, but it still gets P.E. credits in high school?

Answer #1

I believe it should be considered an athletic activity since marching bands take alot of hard work and physical effort.

Answer #2

Not all schools do. Where I grew up band was only an elective; it didn’t satisfy PE or any other requirement. In general schools give PE credit for band if they have trouble getting enough students take marching band.

Answer #3

Answer #4
