soccer players need upper body strength as much as lower body strength. you have to be able to muscle your way past an opponent or keep them from muscling past you for one thing. and it also helps when you need to flop dramatically to the ground to draw a foul call from the referee.
no musician myself. but, marching band is surely physically demanding and can be somewhat athletic even. i bet there are Florida A&M marching band vids on you tube that demonstrate that.
I’m a soccer player and I’m in marching band. So yes, this is accurate. It takes a lot of strength and endurance for marching band. It is a sport despite popular belief.

Ours son was in a high school band that fashioned itself after Ohio University’s style. Very exciting and demanding.

It’s more of a sport than anyone should believe; right, band members?!
