I've no clue about marching band. Among other musicians (classical guitarists in particular), some people memorise using muscle memory (this requires repetition), some actually play by ear (you hear it inside and play it), some visualise the score, guitarists see finger patterns, and some use analysis (what scale, key etc.) as an aid. I actually interviewed about 10 professional classical guitarists (with the view to write an article) about this and other inner music topics, years ago. People vary. Personally, muscle memory and excess reps never assured my memory, particularly under stress.
I have never had any one think that you should begin to memorise when you first have a piece. You memorise mistakes that way. All the music should be under control first. Then play a phrase without it. See which of the above help. The best memorisers (non-clarinetists) I have personally known saw the score in their head, heard the score in their head to play from memory.
