A marching band is a group of people in which they play music while marching for entertainment or competition. In Scotland the bands are mostly either pipe bands or orange order. These two groups make up most marching bands. Instruments most used are Bagpipes. drums and flutes.
Most wear a uniform, often of a military style or in the case of pipe bands kilts and highland dress. Some marching bands have their own colours and logos that identifies them from an area or associated with some organisation. Most of your needs can be bought at our Glasgow shop.

Military.
The Military were some of the first to use mucic with marching. Instruments varied a great deal in these bands but usually consisted of drums, pipes, woodwinds, bugles and flutes. Marching bands typically march with consistent straight lines. Music is performed at a steady beat to keep the band marching at a steady pace. The marching step is usually at six steps per five yards This pace includes field music units such as pipe,fife and drum and flute bands. Active military marching bands are slowly getting fewer in the States. Unlike in the States, bands have a strong presence in Latin America, especially those with Prussian, French, Spanish origins. Such bands are found in Brazil, Uruguay and Peru. Military style corps of drums are also seen in schools, in Mexico and in Mexican schools in the US.
