Timps are perfectly good marching instruments; and I venture to suggest
that they originated that way - as army instruments.  But, of course,
the timp player does so mounted on a horse.

I'd really like to see someone try *that* at a marching contest :-)

entering for a contest if I had confidence beforehand that the
adjudicator wouldn't simply write "that wasn't a march".
