Why does the music coming from a marching band in a spread out formation on a football field sometimes sound discordant?
because sound travels pretty slow. thats why if your in the very back at a rock concert, and you see the drummer hit a drum, and you hear the drum a half a second or so later. in marching band, you want the sound to line up for the audience. to achieve this, listen back, and center. usually the drumline. if your in the audience and it sound discordant, its not your fault.
