I played Mellophone, mostly. I was also drum major of my college marching band.
I'm on my feet 8-14 hours a day, but it's not my feet I'm worried about. It takes a lot of extra in-shape-d-ness to march all around a field while playing music and only taking a breath every few seconds.
I don't know that I have any questions other than those regarding what kind of spiffy outfit you may be wearing while marching in tune, but I think it's fantastic that you are going to do this.
i only styaed in marching band in college for 2 years, i just didn't have the time after that. one had to major in music to be any sort of leadership role in the marching band at the college i attended. i miss playing music and hanging out with friends, but that part of my life is over. in a few years i think i may take music lessons for something else at a place near me, just for something to do.
