Piccolo.

A piccolo is a half scale flute, with the same fingerings as the full flute. Its pitch is one whole octave higher meaning that a player can use the same music as a full flute.

How many types of instruments are in a marching band?

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.

Name an instrument you wouldn't want to play in a marching band?

Tuba Drum Keyboard Trombone I'm leaving the original answers above - however I am not sure the nature of the original question: "stuck carrying" is a bit vague. If you are referring to weight then Tuba, Drums, Baritone Saxophone come to mind. If you are referring to safety - then the Bassoon comes to the front of the list If you are referring to Tradition - Then I would say Clarinet, Saxophone, and maybe flutes. Because marching bands have become more known for Brass type instruments (more so since organizations like DCI have emerged where woodwind instruments are not apart of the band). Overall though I again say I don't understand your question. The instrument you play in marching band is usually your instrument of choice (meaning you have made that decision without consideration of marching band). Your chosen instrument is usually what you would play (with the exception - in most cases - of string instruments that are not used in marching band - with some exceptions but when used are pit instruments) A person is usually not "stuck" carrying anything.
