RE: Best Instr. for Marching Band?

I find that "real" marching bands never use Electric Basses. Synthesizers are only used by small bands with very little sound.

My bet would be the Sousaphone. Also in Bb concert, bands never have enough of them. If he's looking to become a serious player, I would bet on the trombone. It's a gorgeous instrument if played right.

As for oboe or bassoon, if you see them in a marching band, that's pretty stupid on the band directors part. (Unless they're plastic, but the reeds would break very easily too!) Wood instruments should never be used outdoors as we've mentioned on this post many times before.
