High on Energy Marching Band Shows

You must have seen a marching band performing their show on TV or live at the sports field especially during the half time of a baseball or football game. These marching bands showcase their performance in professional matches or in a university sports day. Their activities include dancing, playing instrumental music while marching, performing exercise or a parade. These bands are in many ways similar to traditional military bands & have their own uniform, logo, caps, gloves or helmets. 

Marching bands are classified by their discrete style, gender, type of their instrumentation or even age group. Some shows may include both males and females but it could be hard to identify their gender since they wear identical uniforms. A marching band show may have as low as 3 members and as high as over 500 members. A single march band may have sub groups performing different activities.

Marching Bands music shows are common in various schools and universities in USA where students actively take part and enjoy their show. You will encounter websites of numerous colleges or universities where students fill in their application to be a part of their musical band show parade. Depending upon the number of applications received, interviews can be conducted.  If you have your own music instrument like brass, woodwinds, flute and percussion instruments like a drum & you play it very well, it is an added advantage for you. Alternatively, you can borrow an instrument.  Having said that, having or owing an instrument is not something mandatory. 

These bands with their lively shows bring passion and liveliness to the events due to their immaculate and flawless performance. Lighting effect (whether performed in a day or night) & type of music March bands choose can either make or break their show.
