Marching band is a series of instrument put together to make a show for other people or other bands to see. As you can see in one of the picture at the top, in marching band you can create different shapes or lines like the picture. The picture is the Ohio State marching band the shapes they are making are the super man sign, the harry potter symbol, a dinosaur, and a skull head. marching band is different from regular band because of the instruments. Some are the same like clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, flute, and trombone. But some are different, like in band the french horn is called the mellophone, and the baritone is called the same but looks different. these two instruments look like a trumpet.and there is one more and it is the sousaphone and it is based off of the tuba. the sousaphone is made out of brass and sits on your shoulder. then here is the drum line. the drums are not to different but there is some difference. For example the snare drum sounds more like a gun shot. A drum in band rings more and there are bass drums. The bass drums is a series of size. So different sounds come out. And then there are the tenor drums which are the other drums on a drum set, that is why another name for them are the quads.
