What are Instruments in a marching band?

A marching band is made up of a mixture of brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments. Thus, the string section that would be found in a symphony is not found in a marching band. Though occasionally, a marching band will use a guitar or Bass Guitar during a field show. In addition to that, double reed instruments, such as the Oboe and bassoon are not present within a marching band. The percussion section is also limited to snare drums, tenors, bass drums, and sometimes glockenspiels unless it is a field show in which they may include a pit which would use instruments such as xylophones and marimbas.Some instruments still carry over, but they don't retain the same appearance. A mellophone is the same as a French horn, but shaped as a Trumpet to make it more manageable. The same thing is done with a tuba to make it a sousaphone so it is more easily carried.

What are the differences between brass and woodwind instruments?

Brass instruments tend to be made out of brass or other metals/alloys. Woodwind instruments have reeds, which makes a different sound to the brass instrument (in simple terms you have to blow raspberries into to make a sound- it is a little more complecated than that, but its hard to explain).


Do brass instruments have wood mouthpiece?

Instruments with wood mouthpieces, or mouthpieces containing wooden reeds, are called woodwinds, regardless of the material used to make them - and many are made of brass. "Brass" instruments - trumpets, tubas and other horns - have metal mouthpieces without reeds.

What are the similarities and differences between wind and brass instruments?

One difference is that woodwind instruments use a wooden reed to form the mouthpiece. The reed sits at the back of the mouthpiece (on the bottom lip) and vibrates against the rest of the mouthpiece to help create the sound. Brass and woodwind instruments are both played by blowing into them (or over them in the case of the flute). Brass instruments do not have any moving parts that vibrate to create a sound. They merely amplify the sound created by the players lips vibrating. Woodwind instruments have a reed that vibrates except for the flute which splits a column of air to make vibrations. Brass instruments change their pitch by changing the length of tubing which the air passes through. Woodwind instruments change their pitch by changing the where the air escapes from the instrument.
