Alright alright, game music is totally cool (well, the REALLY good game music like Metal Gear Solid and Nobuo Uematsu on Final Fantasy), HOWEVER, it HAS to be done RIGHT. If a high school band does do game music (and yes, it has been 'attempted' before), the band has to select the better songs, and execute it well.

If you play Final Fantasy for instance, people will expect you to play it well. Because as of now, the more serious marching band critics will probably think that game music + field is a joke. :shock:
