Marching
A notable difference with marching in indoor percussion is the more frequent use of toe-down marching. Marching within indoor percussion is much more fluid in contrast with corps style marching and is much more group dependent due to the lack of yard lines. Rather than relying on yard lines to guide placement, the marcher is required to 'dress' to the others, meaning to use the other marchers as a reference point and keep with formation using peripheral vision. Some indoor ensembles even incorporate basic dance moves into their shows for a more dramatic effect.
