Marching drums are organized into sections. How many sections a band has depends on the members and money they spend. The basic sections are:

Snare drum

Bass Drum

Cymbals

Larger bands may have:

Snare

Bass

Quads

Cymbals

A pit section

Some Marching Bands have a "pit section".

This section has instruments that are not common or practical to march with.

Some pit instruments include:

Mallet instruments like marimba, vibraphone, or bells.

Chimes

Suspended cymbals

sound effects

standard drum kits (like in a rock band)

Each section usually has several members organized by skill level. Lower skill players will start on pit, cymbals or bass drum and work their way up to the snare section. The captain will most likely be center snare.
