Is a marching French horn the same as a regular French horn?
No. A marching french horn, also called a mellophone, has a shape more like a trumpet with a large bell facing forward. A "regular" french horn has the bell facing backwards. You use your left hand to play the french horn and your right hand to play the mellophone. Fingering also changes to that identical to a trumpet, or a B-flat Horn (the E's and D's are fingered differently). Some mellophones are made to be used with a trumpet (cornet) mouthpiece, but there are adapters you can use to use your horn mouthpiece. Other mellophone are made to be used only with a horn mouthpiece.

Where did people play the french horn?
The French Horn actually originated in Europe and has been around for quite a while. In the beginning, it had no fingerings and was played by buzzing different notes, which could also be tuned by the moving of the hand inside the bell. Then the Germans invented the valve system, and fingerings were introduced to the horn. Of course, Americans call it the French horn.... Anyway, the French Horn is a unique instrument enjoyed in orchestras all over the world. :)
