I love watching marching bands on TV.  It's so cool to watch the musicians in sync performing in competitions.
Yes, I am always amazed how they stay in the right place.
Did you watch the Michael Jackson tribute?  They were a college marching band and had a visual interpretation of Michael's music throughout the years.
No, I didn't see that. I bet it was neat though. 
It was!  It was done by the Ohio State Marching Band and they did a full on tribute and even the moon walk.  If you have time, I highly recommend you watch it online.  
Wow! I bet it is really hard to moonwalk and play an instrument. I've always heard that the uniforms are so hot.
I can imagine.  The uniforms plus the instruments while marching would really put a toll on your body.  Good thing that they were all military trained as it is part of the curriculum at Ohio State.
I bet some of the instruments are really heavy too. I wanted to play drums as a kid, but at that time they wouldn't let girls play drums due to strenght.
rifles, and sabres.
Marching bands are generally categorized by function, size, age, instrumentation, marching style, and type of show they perform. In addition to traditional parade performances, many marching bands also perform field shows at sporting events and at marching band competitions. Increasingly, marching bands perform indoor concerts that implement many songs, traditions, and flair from outside performances. And in some cases, at higher level competitions, bands will be placed into classes based on school size. According to BOA Music For All
