How are a marching band and a orchastra different?

What are marching band work ethics?

Speaking from personal experience, I can tell you right away that marching band takes a lot of dedication and hard work. You have to memorize the music, then memorize the drill for the music. The drill is the marching that you do while you play on the field. To top it all off, you have to put the two together. Now, some bands are "contest bands", which means they actually compete. Other bands are "show bands" which basically means they just play at football games or whatever, but not as a competition. The show bands tend to not have as complicated music or drills, but even so, it could take some work. Also, I've seen show bands that use lyres, which holds their music for them. So, really, show bands are much easier than contest bands. Just to clarify, the contest bands take A LOT of work if you want to be any good, and the show bands take work too, but aren't as difficult. Hope I answered your question!

Typically they would play the school fight song, and perhaps The Star Spangled Banner. They would likely play many other songs as well. However, I'm afraid that no specific song has ever been universally performed by every high school marching band in the country.
