Instrumentation
The Minuteman Band comprises typical marching band instruments: mellophones instead of French horns, alto and tenor saxophones, flutes, piccolos (audition only), clarinets, trumpets, trombones, euphoniums, and sousaphones instead of tubas.
In addition to the instrumentation on the field, the band has keyboards, marimba, electric guitar and bass as well as various singers. The band does not require instrument audition for its members, however some instruments like the piccolo, guitar, bass, and vocals require an audition which is open to any band member.
