Marching bands rock

Ozzy Osborne isn't exactly traditional marching band fare. Neither is Led Zeppelin or Alice Cooper.

But then marching bands today aren't like those of years past, performing traditional, safe material during half-time at the football game.

Field marching bands of today, are as much about pizzazz and performance as football teams are about hard hits and graceful passing. And simply because they might play at half-time, doesn't mean they exist solely for the football team. Today's marching bands are competitive entities unto themselves.
