The marching band is a part of our American heritage. In history bands were farmore common and much more a part of American community life than they are today. For many small towns, cities, neighborhoods, and organizations, their band was a source of pride and was an important part of their society. Marching band can be traced back to the colonial period. During the British occupation of the American colonies, the British bands were appreciated and respected by the colonists even if the troops were not. Theband provided music to keep the ranks of soldiers straight, as they marched, radiate patriotism, and most importantly, give the soldier a medium to forget the hardships of military service. A soldier who is singing along is liable to forget the discomfort of a march, bad food, and uncomfortable field conditions. Bandsmen were given elaborateuniforms decorated with lace and braid to contrast them with the regular troops.? (Berry1) A commander would need to know where they were at all times. So they weregiven these uniforms for easy identification. Another reason for the uniforms is thatbandsmen had a tendency to drink more that the average soldier, so they were given uniforms that they would not wear in public. (Barry 1) After the American Revolution, the love of the military band remained.Massachusetts passed the Militia Act of 1800 (Barry 1) which specifically provided for the funding of militia bands. Bands thrived in the newly created United States. The invention and development of the keyed and valved brass horns further encouraged the proliferation of community bands.?(Barry 1) New machine produced instruments made horns inexpensive and extremely available. In the civil war, a reliable band leader was asconsidered a good commander. At the end of the day, bands from the opposing Unionand Confederate armies would position themselves on top of high ground opposite each other and play against each other in a battle of music and musicianship. These "Battle of the Bands" could be as effective as the real ones, devastating to the enemy's morale and strengthening their own.(Barry 1)Civic pride demanded that every town have at least one band. (Barry 1) Bandswere the main form of entertainment in many communities and this gave most bandsplenty of opportunity to play and be heard. New composers of band music such as JohnPhilip Sousa and Henry Fillmore wrote an endless stream of music for bands to play.Bands would dominate the American musical and social atmosphere until thedevelopment and distribution of recorded music ended the entertainment monopoly thatthe bands held. So in the 1920's , there was a strong desire for a band within every town,organization, civic group, and even among the students. (Barry 1)After the Civil War,the Golden Age of the Band began and continued until the early1930's. Bands wereeverywhere. In 1937, A marching festival was held for the first time in the spring Thisevent was held in conjunction with the concert and sight reading events. Sight reading iswhere a piece of music that the band has never seen before, is put in Front of them andthey have to play it to the best of their abilities. You get judged on How you handleyourself in the room, how well you play the music, and how you follow the conductor,but they did not have to march while they were sight reading During the wartime yearsof 1943-45 there were no competitions.(Barry 1)(Paris 1) As time went on the band began to associate themselves to local organizationsand became more like a musical unit? (Foster 3) This lasted until the mid to late1960s when the groups became increasingly competitive with each other. This was like a battle of the bands but in a more recent setting. Through the 60s and early70s the groups began to stray from their strict military background and becomemore of a performing ensemble, using other types of music, such as jazz, broadway,and pop, to entertain audiences. This eventually led to the establishment of oneorganization called Drum Corps International or DCI for short. (Foster 3) DCI defined the rules, set the standards, and gave the limitations that would shape the world of the marching band over the next three decades. DCI also set out to teach and educate band directors, music educators, and the general public on the capabilitiesof the marching genre. Through the performances of the various corps, and themany clinics and seminars given by the staff of DCI, the marching band genreevolved into the art-form that it is today. (Foster 3) The founders of DCI set various limits on the types of instruments that were to beused in Drum Corps competitions. The use of bugles (brass instruments with no valves) in the key of G and a percussion section was the only instruments allowed at first. As theuse of valves became a new trend in the band world, DCI allowed valved bugles to be used. Although most of the bugles only had one to two valves at first, this allowed for amuch wider range of music to be performed. The Marching Band world saw new instruments take the place of standard band instruments. These include the mellophone,which is like a marching French Horn, and the marching baritone for the concert baritone. Each of these instruments, however, had to be in the key of G to follow the DCI guidelines. The drum corps of today now can use any brass instrument they wish, pitched in any key, with the exception of the trombone and sousaphone. This guideline was just implemented a few years ago.(Foster 3) (Wells 3)
