I never did marching band.
Me neither; a cool fat is that it was developed from the  military band.
oh really? Maybe they used it for formation or something.
That makes sense. Marching bands go all the way back to 1653 in the NH militia.
Wow thats quite old considering the instruments they had
There are lots of instruments; the main types are brass woodwind and percussion.
yea i imagine so since they are simple.
Some can be rather complicated. Brass instruments sometimes have slides or valves to change the sound.
