Marching band has always been about theatrics. Obviously not HS, but this is Phantom Regiment (DCI) performing their Spartacus show from 2008, complete with special costumes, guard acting as slaves, Drum Majors as Roman officers, etc...Not sticking up for the use of gun props in this HS show, but marching band, to the people that do it, has always been more than just filler during the halftime.
