Were do marches and marching bands come from?

The marching band originated with travelling musicians who performed together at festivals and celebrations throughout the ancient world. It evolved and became more structured within the armies of the early city-states, becoming the basis for the military band, from which the modern marching band emerged.[1] As musicians became less important in directing the movement of troops on the battlefield, the bands moved into increasingly ceremonial roles - an intermediate stage which provided some of the instrumentation and music for marching bands was the modern brass band, which also evolved out of the military tradition.

If players didn't march, there would be a "wawawawa" in the sound for every time they clomped their feet on the ground.

I'll assume you are going by the canter stride used in jumping competitions and basic training. In that case the average canter stride is 12 feet long.
