The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential benefits of high school marching band participation from the perspectives of high school band directors, band students, and band parents. Through the use of survey methodology, this research aimed to examine the potential musical benefits as they pertain to the 2014 NAfME music education standards for ensembles. This study also examined the potential social benefits as they relate to the constructs for social and emotional learning outcomes as stated by the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL). The participants included 14 band programs purposefully sampled to represent a variety of demographic and philosophical variables. Three unique questionnaires were developed (one for the director, one for students, and one for parents) containing items for participants to rate on a Likert-type scale, as well as prompts which requested narrative response. Results from all three surveys (directors N = 14, students N = 431, parents N = 331) showed unanimous agreement that the improved concept of rhythm was the highest perceived musical benefit of marching band participation. Evidence regarding the social benefits showed that participants viewed marching band as an activity that mostly improves the SEL competencies of relationship skills, self-management, and self- awareness.
