Awesome! Both my kids (now 20s) did HS marching band and loved every minute of it (bass drum/pit percussion and clarinet). My oldest kid's s.o. also was in band and did mellophone and became drum major. I didn't start playing any instruments till after HS, so I missed the marching bandwagon.

It's called a mellophone. It has the same pitch and valves as a French horn but it's much easier to march with.

Fortunately for my kid's nerves the drumline section leader and the lead ... snare, I think? are definitely both the "whaddaya mean? I'm just vibing" kind.
Unfortunately for my kid's nerves, high brass. (My kid marches mellophone, aka "fat trumpet".)

It shouldn’t work.
But somehow it does.
And I love it so much.
Especially as a former mellophone player.
