Marching band

A marching band is a group consisting of instrumental musicians performing outdoors for the purpose of entertainment, exercise, and sometimes in competition.

Most marching bands use some kind of uniform that include the school or organization's name or symbol, shakos, pith helmets, feather plumes, gloves, and sometimes gauntlets, sashes, and/or capes. Marching bands are generally categorized by function, size, age, gender and by the style of show they perform.
