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.
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.
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.
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.

The sousaphone is commonly associated with brass bands, marching bands, and concert bands. It serves as a bass instrument, providing a deep, resonant foundation for the ensemble's sound. Its design allows for easy playing while marching, making it ideal for outdoor performances and parades. Overall, the sousaphone contributes significantly to the richness and depth of brass and wind ensembles.
The second highest sounding brass instrument is typically the trumpet. The trumpet is known for its bright, piercing sound and is commonly used in various musical genres, including classical, jazz, and marching bands. The highest sounding brass instrument is the piccolo trumpet, which plays in an even higher register than the standard trumpet.
No. It mostly plays in marching bands and/or brass assembles.
