Types of instruments in a marching band usually include woodwinds (saxophones, clarinets flutes/piccolos,) brass (trumpets, sousaphones/tubas, euphoniums, trombones, and baritones,) and percussion (marimba and chimes and gongs in the "pit" portion, and a drumline composed of quints, snares, and bass drums.) Occasionally, some Marching Bands will employ stringed instruments hooked up to electric amplifiers, but the nature of those instruments often impair the musician's ability to march.
