RE: Marching band

I have to agree with your band director. Playing tenor sax for marching band probably will mess up your embouchure. My instructor had planned on being a professional oboe player, but after a year of marching the bari sax, he could hardly play the oboe anymore. Even over 10 years later, he still hasn't ever gotten his embouchure back.

If you want to be heard and not ruin your embouchure, consider marching percussion. I played bass drum for two years and it was a blast. Everyone defintely hears you, and it can be a real bonding expierence.
