Each chapter includes some new information and some material that has been updated to address recent developments in marching band. This third edition includes updated sections on all aspects of drill design, charting, and music arranging. This book can serve as a guide for teaching those concepts and administering a successful marching band program. The marching band director must be a very versatile teacher and musician, able to arrange music, develop design concepts that create visual form over a ten-minute time span, choose uniforms and props, and teach, motivate, and control large groups of enthusiastic young people.

Although it still uses sporting events as a stage for performance, the marching band has developed an audience and purpose all its own. The contemporary marching band in the United States has developed into an ensemble separate from the athletic contests and military shows that fostered it.
