Because brass carries better than winds in outdoor situations, for much march music, most if not all of the lines appear in the brass: melody in the trumpets, bass in the tubas, chordal support in the horns, and often a countermelody in the trombones.

Military bands are an outgrowth of the bugles and drums used for signaling. They now perform for ceremonial support and for entertainment of the troops. Some bands also have a public relations mission or educational outreach program.

The biggest one that a military band is composed of members of the military. A brass band is typically composed of civilians. That is not to say that there can't be a United States Army Brass Band.

Brass bands also tend to be very heavy on the brass section and usually do not contain any woodwinds at all.

Military or wind bands have woodwind instruments (Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, bassoon and saxophones) whilst the brass has only brass instruments. Hence the name brass band.
