Have you ever been in a marching band? A group that performs from instruments when marching?
No, In highschool I was in band for 1 day and then kicked out. Do you play in one?
No I dont but I know they consist of brass, percussion, and woodwind instruments. Why did you get kicked out? Haha
I was a punk kid. I think I was playing the drums before we were even allowed to touch anything. I had been playing my entire life so it was no big deal to me.
Marching band
A marching band is a group in which instrumental musicians perform while marching, often for entertainment or competition. Instrumentation typically includes brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments. Most marching bands wear a uniform, often of a military style, that includes an associated organization's colors, name or symbol. Most high school marching bands, and some college marching bands, are accompanied by a color guard, a group of performers who add a visual interpretation to the music through the use of props, most often flags,
pep band is the same as most marching bands, using mainly woodwind, brass, and percussion instruments. Pep bands typically don't use primarily orchestral instruments (double reeds, strings, etc.), but this is not a hard set limitation.
Pep bands have been in existence for a very long time, however their origins are vague and hard to find. The concept of pep band most likely sprung from marching band (a band during sporting events with choreography while they play music, normally with uniforms).
