How is marching band organized?

Answer 1

It depends on your skill, strength, and coordination really. An instrument like the Flute is good for people just starting out because they almost always carry the melody and they're really light, however their parts can often be fast and difficult to play. Obviously, heavier instruments require more strength and deeper instruments don't usually carry the melody.

Answer 2

To march you must be a few things:

• Able to keep time without rushing
• Able to keep time without slowing
• Able to keep time
• Have some coordination

Then you need to learn how to march correctly if you do roll step then your heel of your lead foot hits on beats one and three. The heel of your off foot hits on 2 and 4. To roll step you have your heel hit and the other foot goes on its toe. Then your back foot (the one on its toe) goes in front and hits the ground heel first. Then your other foot is on its toe and so on. All the time you must be dressing to your line so you are in actual lines. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

When you are standing at attention, your heels should be together, toes apart, with your chin up, and shoulders back. You always start marching on your left foot. Usually the drums will give clicks, and when you hear them, your left foot should hit the ground. You always roll your feet, and stay at attention at all times. I hope this helped! Enjoy your marching! I sure do!
