What are the ten largest college marching bands?
I honestly cant tell you the top ten college marching bands. But i can tell you that the Ohio State Marching Band is the best in the country. I believe they have 225 members in the band that all have to pass a tryout, and even after they make it in the band they all have to audition every week to be able to play in the game. 33 band members sit out each week because they werent good enough that week. I hope this helped a little bit.
How do they choose the bands to march in the parade?
They don't the student chooses to be in a marching band wich they could choose in high school! Trust me i know cause I do it :)
Can you get marching band scholarships?
Unlike sports, marching bands normally do NOT offer scholarships for talented players headed to college. (If you find one, let me know.) In marching band, it doesn't matter if one person is exceptionally gifted: if the whole band looks sloppy while one scholarship student looks excellent, they will still receive a bad rating or a bad response from the crowd. University bands also do not attend competitions, so the school would receive nothing in return for a marching band scholarship like they would for a talented basketball player, talented football player, etc. However, many universities offer music scholarships for music majors, minors, and other advanced musicians who audition for that university's music program. In addition, I'm sure drum corps (professional) bands may offer scholarships or other reprieves to exceptional players who cannot afford to pay the hefty fee.

Does band look good on a college application?
It depends on how much your marching band does, whether you only perform at football games every other week or whether your school does field shows and have a competition every weekend. It also depends on your school's marching band reputation. Colleges usually would know that marching band takes up a lot of time and they'll take that into consideration. It'll look even better if you continued to stick with marching throughout your four years in high school and you are/were drum major, section leader, captain, etc. This shows that you're involved in leadership and that you're commited to marching band, not just being in it. Whether your school's marching band is a small one or a big one with a good reputation, colleges definitely would like it if you stuck to it and how involved you are with it. Overall, it isn't the fact that you are in marching band versus something like basketball or NHS. The colleges like to see that you have the deteremination to stick with something. If marching band is something that you want to do, go for it.

Does Gustavus Adolphus College in St Peter MN have a marching band?
i was wondering the same thing. i did some research and i found that they for sure used to but i don't think they do anymore but i don't know what happened to it. i found tons of black and white pictures from back in the day when color guard was baton twirling but there was nothing on a present day organization. they should really get it back though.
