Question

Explain briefly some of the differences between conventional orchestras and concert or marching bands.

Answer 1

Uniformity in performance and variety in instruments

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all a conventional orchestra has a much more uniform performance environment. Meaning they will always preform on a stage in calm environment. Marching bands however preform outdoors and in a variety of places preforming in all kinds of different locations. Another main difference is that marching bands would be less likely to use larger instruments are they are harder to move with them (such as a piano). You would however find a piano in an orchestra however.

Answer 2

Don't 100% take me for this, but you could talk about how some bands, marching bands, and orchestras have different styles. Such as orchestras might play a little older music and and more conventional concert bands and or marching bands play some more recent music. Also talk about how band is an ensemble brass, woodwinds, and percussion, with instruments like baritone, french horn, trumpet, clarinet, saxophone, flute, etc. Whereas orchestras are made up more of string based instruments like violin, basses, violas, etc. Dont get me wrong though orchestras are not all string instruments but the majority are.
