Marching band

A marching band is a group of musicians who perform while marching, often in formation, typically during parades, football games, and competitions. It combines music, choreography, and visual elements, creating an entertaining spectacle. Members usually play brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments and follow a leader, known as a drum major. Marching bands emphasize teamwork, discipline, and precision, with rehearsals focusing on musical arrangement and synchronized movements. They often wear coordinated uniforms and may incorporate themes or storylines into their performances, making them a vibrant aspect of school spirit and community events.
