To become a marching band musician, it is recommended to have a strong musical background, which may include lessons in music theory, instrumental technique, and music in general. This can be achieved by taking music classes in a conservatory or music school, or working with a private music teacher. Many marching band musicians also have a background in classical music, but it is possible to become a marching band musician with any type of musical training. It is important to regularly practice and rehearse to improve one's skills and become an accomplished marching band musician. This can be done by playing with other musicians, practicing music solos or participating in marching band ensembles.

Brass bands can be involved in many different contexts. They can be invited to play in parades, street performances, official ceremonies, festivals (brass band festival, international festival, etc.), carnivals, parties, and concerts. Brass bands are often associated with outdoor events and celebrations, but they can also be invited to play in concert halls, circuses, theaters, or with a choir. A brass band ensemble must master all musical styles such as traditional music (blues, rock, jazz, disco, electro, folk, soul...), contemporary music (pop-rock, punk, funk, hip-hop, reggae, etc.), street music, Latin, world music (French songs, gypsy jazz, gypsy music, etc.), chamber music, contemporary music, klezmer music, municipal music, military music (fanfare reveille), etc. Brass bands can also be employed by organizations to promote their image or to entertain guests at special events. They can also be part of the national orchestra to animate national events (such as military brass bands). Some brass bands are even hired to play at weddings or end-of-year receptions. Finally, brass bands can also be involved in music education (in a media library, auditorium, cultural center, etc.) and in sharing their know-how with young musicians. This involves teaching all the musical instruments that make up the brass band: percussion (drum, flexatone, bass drum, snare drum, cymbals, clarinet, etc.), brass instruments (saxophone, trombone, trumpet...), accordion, double bass, violin, etc.
