    Marching bands consist of woodwinds, brass, and percussion instruments. Due to the physical movement of the ensemble and the fact that they are playing outside, the instruments used are those that are sturdy and portable and create a substantial volume of sound.

    The woodwinds most commonly used are piccolos, flutes, clarinets, and alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones.

    Brass instruments include trumpets, French horns, baritones, and sousaphones and/or tubas.

    Percussion instruments include bass drums, snare drums, crash cymbals, and glockenspiels.

    • True -- but a lot of baritone sax players will back off to tenor if they have to march.
