And the band community blew up about it. Just search for #marchonrome.

2. Some people even agreed with him

@loudawg2011 @jimrome Agreed, bunch of cry baby's. If your kid is in the band instead of playing a sport they are a nerd with bad parents.

3. People in marching band are nerds, not performers

Such emotion. Such beauty. What nerds.

4. They definitely don't do anything worth watching

Why would anyone want to look at people impressively moving very fast and making cool formations? Boring.

5. Like intricate and complicated moves

Look at them move in between each other while still looking forward. Anyone could do that.

6. Or cool tricks

He's upside down? Big deal.

7. People in marching band are geeks, not artists

Artists just paint stuff.

8. Music isn't art. How could it be?

Moving and playing pretty music at the same time? Whatever.

9. Marching and body moves aren't either

10. Neither is dancing

Dancing on a stage? That's art. Dancing on a football field? Not so much.

11. Or spinning flags

The flags look so mesmerizing spinning around together. That's not art in any way, shape, or form.

12. Or rifles

I'm just going to throw solid wood in the air as hard as I can, keep it in time with the ten other people around me, and catch it with my bare hands. No big deal.

13. Or sabers

Let me just throw A FREAKING SWORD in the air, do a somersault, then catch it IN MY HANDS. It's chill.

14. People in marching band are dorks, not athletes

Look at those dorks working hard and making fools of themselves. What are they doing?

15. Because, you know, all marching band kids to is run around with their instruments

Running a marathon and sprinting at the same time? I could do that in my sleep.

16. And that definitely means they have no athletic skill

High knees all the way onto the field while wearing a wool uniform? Then playing an instrument instead of breathing? Any fat, lazy band kid could do that.

17. So, in conclusion, Jim Rome is clearly right
