In my army days (over 40 years back) our double reed players never took their instruments on parade, usually being given the cymbals or similar on the march, however in recent years I have seen the bassoon (though not yet the oboe) being included in marching bands of several of our major Guards bands.
The first time I saw this some years ago I could see that the player had no reed on the march and was probably just filling a hole in the rank but in recent ceremonial for the annual war memorial ceremony the player was clearly playing his instrument albeit whilst stionary.
All the Bassoon concerto performances I have ever seen have always been played standing up and using I think a neck sling.
