Name an instrument you wouldn't want to play in a marching band?

Tuba Drum Keyboard Trombone I'm leaving the original answers above - however I am not sure the nature of the original question: "stuck carrying" is a bit vague. If you are referring to weight then Tuba, Drums, Baritone Saxophone come to mind. If you are referring to safety - then the Bassoon comes to the front of the list If you are referring to Tradition - Then I would say Clarinet, Saxophone, and maybe flutes. Because marching bands have become more known for Brass type instruments (more so since organizations like DCI have emerged where woodwind instruments are not apart of the band). Overall though I again say I don't understand your question. The instrument you play in marching band is usually your instrument of choice (meaning you have made that decision without consideration of marching band). Your chosen instrument is usually what you would play (with the exception - in most cases - of string instruments that are not used in marching band - with some exceptions but when used are pit instruments) A person is usually not "stuck" carrying anything.
