Woodwinds in general are not that useful in marching bands. Hence all the "drum and bugle corps" out there. Never heard of a "drum and woodwind corps".

My guess would be that they have to accomodate everyone that's in the band during the football season so they include all your "primary" instruments. I've (yes) even seen marching bass clarinets, marching bassoons (yes I AM serious), marching oboes, etc.

Then again, now that I think about it, I went to one football game where the other school didn't have a music program. So I got to see a marching electric guitar, with a stationary drum set and marching electric bass guitar. Very simple formations, and very careful not to trip over the cords.
