  1. How to Conduct a Marching Band Show- Some Tips

  2. Nobody is quite as captivating as a marching band conductor and none other than a marching band show is such a fun. One of the most satisfying and impressive feats that you will ever undertake is learning to conduct a band. Get to Know the Band Determine whether the band will play in a classical music marching band show or will march along a street, with you as its leader. This determination will play an important role when you learn basic conducting gestures. Learn the exact positioning of the group of instruments-brass, woodwinds and percussion- within the band. Understand the sound and volume range of each by listening to each group of instruments. Pitch must be paid attention to. Notice the off-key playing of any instruments or groups of instruments.

  3. Study the Score The piece of music to be conducted should be selected first. For a beginning band conductor a piece of music in 2/4 time is best. As a fast tempo allows more general conducting gestures, it is more forgiving for a novice conductor. To have an understanding of the overall tone and rhythmic structure of the piece of music, read through the entire score. The main instruments and the melodies that will play these melodies in a custom marching band shows are to be identified. Identify the instruments that will play those harmonies and the harmonies that will accompany those melodies.
