I think there are two fairly obvious reasons why there is no such thing as
an oboe lyre. One is the virtual impossibility of even holding the
instrument, much less a reasonable oboe embouchure and breath support while
marching, further complicated by the weight of a lyre and (dear me!)
Flip-folder on it!. The other is the gawd-awful noise it would make
despite the best efforts of the player. Perhaps you can try again to
discourage marching an oboe? Or try pinning the music on the back of the
person marching in front of the oboist. :-)

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
