Do you play sax or clarinet or flute so you could march with one of those?

Marching oboe is a bad idea.

I played in an Army post band and even they did not expect oboe or bassoon marching around.

Except on one occassion when my unit commander ordered me to march and to not talk back for a change. I said OK and pointed out that oboe had no music lyre so I'd have to carry a stand. He said OK. I then pointed out it would endanger the oboe for me to carry it and a stand so I'd have to carry it in its case. He said OK. We actually did this,... band marched, stopped and eveyone waited while I knealt down, opened my case assembled the oboe, put music on the stand... and then we played...in front of the General who later was rather elaborate expressing his dissatisfaction and included "oboes don't march"!

It was the last time they asked me to march with an oboe.

Its a bad idea. [happy]
