I agree with the above comments, however don't count out Vista Ridge and Vandegrift. Although their marching isn't very clean, they're still big forces, perhaps even more than Cedar Park and definitely Leander, although they have a shot too.

I have a Cannonball for concert season and a Yamaha for marching season. I like the Cannonball much better because it is better quality than my personal Yamaha (though that could vary, my Yamaha is old) and the keys are less inclined to stick. I use the Yamaha for marching band because I don't want to hurt my Cannonball; learning new drill can cause collisions and being rained on at a football game or contest isn't as worrisome as it would be if I used my Cannonball.
