If you hold the French horn to your mouth, the valves will be facing the right side of the room. See the opening at the end? Put your right hand in it and flatten it and put it on one of the walls. Put your left hand on the valves. That is how you hold a French horn
The majority of Marching Bands will use Mellophones. Mellophones are trumpets in the key of F so there's no transposition involved. Where the kick slide is located (should be on the top of the pipe of the third valve), you can take the ring off and put what's called a flyer. It has a clip that will hold your flip folder.
However, not every marching band uses mellophones. If that's the case, check to see if your horn has a little square hole to put a flyer. It would be near the pinky ring. If there isn't one, I personally don't know how you'd hold your music. My recommendation is to get a Flute/piccolo flyer, which attaches to your forearm.
French horns are not used in marching bands. They are too unstable to march with effectively. Bands that march french horns are insane. The marching version of the french horn is called the "mellophone". There is also an instrument similar to the mellophone named the "marching french horn", but they are essentially the same instrument with a different mouthpiece. Additional marching brass instruments are trumpets, trombones, baritones, and tubas
The actual name for the "marching F-Horn" is a Mellophone. The fingerings are identical to that of a trumpet. On a Horn, you finger the E open and the D first. On a Mellophone (marching horn) the E is first and second, and the D is first and third.
Not quite. It's more of a marching band version of the French horn.
I play the french horn and am not really sure what you mean by what kind of music. A french horn can play any music. I recently preformed at a black history month concert and played blues/jazz music on my french horn. If you mean the key its played in the key of F. Hope that helped:)
there are french horns in wii music, but you can not play it. When you conduct a orchestra you see mii's playing the french horn.

A mellophone is a marching french horn while a marching baritone is well, a baritone. They have much different ranges, baritones are considered low brass while mellophones are in between trumpets and low brass.
no they didn't have a F horn (French Horn) in their music
Ambiguous. Most likely though, a horn in F, a double horn, or, less often, a Bb horn. Or, not a marching horn.

No. A marching french horn, also called a mellophone, has a shape more like a trumpet with a large bell facing forward. A "regular" french horn has the bell facing backwards. You use your left hand to play the french horn and your right hand to play the mellophone. Fingering also changes to that identical to a trumpet, or a B-flat Horn (the E's and D's are fingered differently). Some mellophones are made to be used with a trumpet (cornet) mouthpiece, but there are adapters you can use to use your horn mouthpiece. Other mellophone are made to be used only with a horn mouthpiece.
A French Horn is a brass instrument from the classical era of music.
A mellophone is a "Kind" of or variant of a trumpet , which is more akin to a marching french horn than a trumpet. It's almost exclusively used in marching bands.
Baritone horn, Sousaphone, Euphonium, Contrabass bugle, and Alto Horn
