Marching Bands, which are often brass bands or pipe bands.
The helicon was the predecessor of the sousaphone. It was a large, circular-shaped brass instrument with the bell facing forward, designed for marching bands. The sousaphone was developed to improve the portability and projection of sound while marching.
The tuba is the largest brass instrument with the largest mouthpiece. In marching the Sousaphone and the Contrabass bugle (known as contra) are marching versions of the tuba. The contra is the lowest-pitched, largest, and heaviest marching instrument.
It was originally intended as an instrument for German marching bands, but spread to British brass band music, where it remains a staple in any ensemble. It is still used frequently in marching and military ensembles internationally.
In marching bands, the most commonly used horn is the mellophone. The mellophone is a brass instrument that closely resembles the French horn but is designed to be played in a marching band setting. Its bell is pointed forward, allowing for better projection of sound while marching. The mellophone is often used to provide a bright, powerful sound in outdoor performances.

Depending on the needs of the piece and setting, the tuba takes the role of the bass (with sousaphones or contrabass bugles, other instruments in the tuba family, filling that role in marching bands and drum corps). Some settings have the bass trombone take that role (such as in jazz bands)
The tuba is an instrument known for its very deep-sounding horn. As the largest brass instrument, it produces rich, low tones that provide the bass foundation in orchestras and brass ensembles. Its wide bell and long tubing contribute to its distinctive, resonant sound. The tuba is essential in various musical genres, including classical, jazz, and marching bands.
