What are variables when your using a graph?
You can have almost any variables that you like. One of my favourites is Minard's graph depicting Napoleon's army marching to Russia and retreating.

The graph depicts the size of the army, distance from Paris/Moscow (including some geographical features) and the temperatures (lower section) : all plotted against time.

Why are the woodwinds in the rear of the marching band?
Woodwinds are typically positioned at the rear of the marching band to balance sound projection and blend with the brass and percussion sections. The softer timbre of woodwinds requires them to be placed further back to ensure their sound reaches the audience without being overwhelmed by the louder brass instruments. This arrangement also helps maintain visual symmetry while allowing for better coordination during maneuvers and formations.
How many types of instruments are in a marching band?
Types of instruments in a marching band usually include woodwinds (saxophones, clarinets flutes/piccolos,) brass (trumpets, sousaphones/tubas, euphoniums, trombones, and baritones,) and percussion (marimba and chimes and gongs in the "pit" portion, and a drumline composed of quints, snares, and bass drums.) Occasionally, some marching bands will employ stringed instruments hooked up to electric amplifiers, but the nature of those instruments often impair the musician's ability to march.

What are Instruments in a marching band?
A marching band is made up of a mixture of brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments. Thus, the string section that would be found in a symphony is not found in a marching band. Though occasionally, a marching band will use a guitar or Bass Guitar during a field show. In addition to that, double reed instruments, such as the Oboe and bassoon are not present within a marching band. The percussion section is also limited to snare drums, tenors, bass drums, and sometimes glockenspiels unless it is a field show in which they may include a pit which would use instruments such as xylophones and marimbas.Some instruments still carry over, but they don't retain the same appearance. A mellophone is the same as a French horn, but shaped as a Trumpet to make it more manageable. The same thing is done with a tuba to make it a sousaphone so it is more easily carried.
If a marching band were practicing at your local school what instruments would you be most likely to hear before you saw them and Why?
I would probably hear the trumpets/brass first. They are typically louder than woodwinds at first.
