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.

How do you come To be the cymbals player in the marching band?
Many marching bands hold tryouts that are necessary to participate in to join the band. There also many marching bands that allow anyone to join, but then have auditions for the different parts of the music and for different instruments. In order to gain entry to most drumlines within a marching band a person must audition for their spot on the line. While it is not necessarily true, cymbal players are usually people who lack skill or experience on other drumline instruments such as the snare or bass drums. Even though cymbal players are usually thought of as low men on the totem pole, they still play an important role in the overall success of a drumline!
