I'm going purely off Band instruments. Most people would assume the Tuba, because it's the biggest, but in reality, it's the Flute, because most of the air goes over the flute without doing anything. (On a tuba, the note you're playing makes a big difference; if you're up in the bass clef proper, you're not actually pushing all that much air and will probably need to breathe for oxygen before you need to breathe for wind, but lower notes ... particularly the "pedal tones," the ones two octaves below the staff that look like piccolo music turned upside down ... are a different matter.)

What does air column mean in musical terms?

Music, like all sound is made up of sound waves traveling through the air. On a string instrument, the sound wave originates with a wave (actually many waves) on a vibrating string. Wind instruments don't have a string, and the sound you hear doesn't sound much like the vibrating reed of a woodwind or the vibrating lips of a brass players. We hear a wave that is established in the air inside the instrument. Of course, air moves through and out of an instrument, but the wave doesn't leave the instrument. A corresponding sound wave, which we hear, is created outside the instrument, but the wave inside the instrument doesn't leave the instrument any more than the wave on a string leaves the string. We need a term to describe the air that is inside the instrument - the air where the wave is established and that term is "column of air."

How do you manage a marching band instrument?

Just like you would during concert band season.Answer:Keep your instrument out of the rain as much as possible, especially woodwind instruments. Keep your instrument clean and in good condition. If you march a wooden instrument (which is not recommended), be careful with extreme temperatures. They can crack from expanding and/or contracting. If your instrument gets wet, make sure you let it air out instead of just putting in the case and closing it.
