at mansfield we march 10. next year we are losing 2 and gaining 5. I'm too lazy to do the math, so someone add that up for me and I'm gonna go grab some bed.

Grapevine has around 11 marching which is all of the actual players but if you ever watch us, you will see we have 19 horns because we have about 8 fakers. Our band as a whole is over 250 people.

[gavinrh]

Holy crap. How many do you have marching?

 

I think we have 14ish?

[MansfieldLegacyBandDad]

Mansfield Legacy marched 10 mellos this year.

[Band Of Champions]

Isn't Legacy the new school? Were there a lot of people in band for it being their first year?

[andysoccer]

Yeah, they were a pretty good size. Bigger than Summit and maybe bigger than Timberview..

[escamello]

we march 35 out of 36 horns

[mellopwn1]

You must either be VERY good or REALLY BAD. haha. Such a potential for majorly out of tune chords....

[FHS_statebound_11]

We have 11 total. 2 freshman, 3 sophmores, 3 juniors and 3 seniors

[ch1k3n123]

No mellophones, but we've got maybe 20 or so marching french horns? I don't really count them, but we've got a decent amount. (note cracking city over there! haha!)

Band parent here. I ride the French horn bus with my senior daughter. We have 28 French horn players but 26 march in a band of about 260(230 marching). The others either don't play on varsity or are in the color guard. I love that there are so many. When I was in high school, we had maybe four or five. They sound great, but I agree that if anyone is out of tune, it sounds bad...but...isn't it the same with any instrument? My son plays sax. There are 33, I believe. I'm not sure how many march. The biggest section is clarinet with 44. Anyway, fun topic!

[tryhardhornist]

We have 15 at Lehman, but we march 12

[TXMarchingMadness87654]

We have about 240 this year in band and around 24 mellos. I miss riding the bus with the French horns. My daughter graduated this year. Hubs and I are on the saxophone bus now with our son. (There's 24 of them, btw.)

[TheDumbMajor]

Barbers Hill marches 13 this year out of 15 but 2 are drum majors.

[epeters7]

Ctj has 12... Im one

[NTXBandFan]

Flower Mound marched 24 this year.  They love to feature their horns, see last year's and this year's openers.

[eeman0201]

12, 11 marching (One is a prop). We have like 1 junior, 4 freshmen, and 7 sophmores. And sadly not scott...

[MelloYello]

Man, some of y'all have really small horn section. We have about 25, with 18 marching competition.

[StrikerEZ]

My band has 28 horns, with only five or six that didn't march this year-I can't really remember exactly how many didn't march, but it might've been more than six. One of our horns that did march marched trumpet because one of our trumpets quit halfway through the season.

 

Obviously, I'm a clarinet, but I love the sound of the mello and French horn. It's by far my favorite brass instrument, and I'm planning on learning to play it so I can (possibly) do drum corps. Or I might do trumpet. But I'd prefer mello.

[jps.eventing]

We have 14 (Dripping Springs)

Man I'm so jealous 14... 12 march... But we make it work either way (Dripping Springs)

[KickemColts75]
