Wikipedia:WikiProject Marching band

 WikiProject Marching band Welcome to WikiProject Marching Band! This WikiProject aims to serve as a home to articles related to marching bands and those who contribute to those articles, as well as a forum through which participants can communicate and collaborate on related articles. Through this project, participants seek to add, expand, and improve Wikipedia articles related to marching bands. If you wish to participate, please add yourself to the participant list below.

Scope
This project covers all articles that are related to marching bands at all levels, of all styles, and from all locales, with the sincere aim to avoid bias towards any particular type. Articles within the scope of this project include, but are not limited to, marching bands, marching styles, instrumentation, parades, venues, activities, and competitions. Beyond these non-limiting suggestions, the scope of WikiProject Marching band is determined by you, the participant.

Family Tree
WikiProject Marching band is a proud descendant of its parents, WikiProject Music and WikiProject Organizations. Its grandparent is WikiProject Arts. Its siblings are WikiProject Drum Corps and WikiProject Pipe Bands. WikiProject College football lives across the street.

Use edit summaries
It is a Wikipedia best practice to include an edit summary after each of your edits, describing the change(s) you made (see Help:Edit summary). If you made many fixes, you might say "converting list to prose" or "improving citations". If the number of changes was small, you might list the exact changes you made individually.

Additionally, please consider promoting this project in the edit summary with a small reference like "Updated citation URL. [[WP:MBand ]]". The wikitext shortcuts,  WP:Marching band  and  WP:MBand  both create links to this project page.
