percussion isn't pit...pit is percussion

during marching band, the pit(or now called the front ensamble) are the people who stand on the sidelines playing the auxillary percussion instruments(i.e. keyboards, timpani, cymbals, etc.)

other percussion people in marching band are called battery. they play snare, tenors, or bass drums

during concert season though, the pit and battery are just all called percussion
