What is a show style marching band?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A drum corp consists only of brass, percussion, and colorguard; woodwind instruments do not participate in a drum corp. The percussion section consists of the drumline--snares, tenors, bass drums, and cymbals--and the pit, the standing percussion, such as the marimba, xylophone, vibraphone, bells, tam-tam, and other percussion accessories. A corp style band focuses on military perfection in its drill and music as they are highly competitive and aim for nothing less than perfection.

How many marching bands were pres Nixon inaugural parade?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I marched in President Richard M. Nixon's second inaugural parade on January 20, 1973 with the Thomas A. Edison High School marching band from Alexandria, Virginia. I remember there being 1977 members of this event entry which included all of the area high school bands, drum majors, majorettes and flag twirlers. This number reflected the year Mr. Nixon would have been ended his term. We practiced on a runway at Andrews Air force Base and were purported by the president to be his favorite event due to the massive number of participants who marched in precise harmony and as one in a cohesive unit. I DO recall hearing the president saying this on national television news, but am searching the Internet for written verification of his statement. It was truly one of the highlights of my life...

Which type of instrument is normally not included Ina marching band?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

That would be types of instruments that aren't portable, like a piano (Electronic ones can be marched and played, though) or a xylophone (although the little xylophone called a Glockenspiel is often used) or instruments that are too heavy or awkward to march with, like tubas, larger saxophones, and possibly the large clarinets. French horns are generally not used in a marching band, but once in a great while, are. Instruments that need to be plugged in to power are usually not in marching bands, but are occasionally seen in the form of a bass guitar using a car battery and so forth on a cart.

Why arent there bassoons in marching band?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To play a bassoon, one must typically be sitting on a stable surface for the reeds to vibrate properly. While marching this is not possible to achieve, also marching brings with it he chance to crack the sensitive reeds in double reed instruments. It is also considered "dangerous" to march a double reed instrument due to the fact that the reeds could easily slip and get lodged in he throat of the player or other similar injuries.

Are oboes in marching bands?

User Avatar

Asked by Answerssomeo1234567890

Because oboes rock so much that the people didn't want their awesomeness to interfere with the rest of the stinky band. JK! :P The reeds crack easily, and some people think that people can get "hurt" with the reed if the oboe is ever out of their mouth. Another problem is that oboes expands enormously with humidity making the pitch hard to find and making the oboe crack in certain cases.

I guess the main reason is that there's no music clip for an oboe so he wouldn't be able to carry his music! :P
