It's not even about stretching. Think of everything in marching band, add it all up. This is it!!! What you have here is Equal distance through time in space (as in if the move is 4 counts you have no breaks in motion.) The next is posture!!!! (I can not say that enough. Think about it, marching band drills you on your posture. You are taking that posture (starting with the best you have) and breaking it down and building it up better than you had before! Its genius. ITS PERFECT!
I guess some people feel that way, but in all honesty, even if we don't like it, we do it anyway because we are told to, but most people don't have a problem with it and even enjoy it. It is as relaxing/ useful as you let it be. You get out of it only as much as you put into it.
This is the most useless exercise ever invented. It doesn't do anything for marching band. Some good old normal stretching works way better. From talking to other people this didn't help focus or anything. They just went through the motions thinking about how useless this exercise is.
And I also can't help but think that the name could possibly be offensive to some people.
its for posture and height building.
