Introduction Over the past twenty years, the front ensemble or pit has become an integral part of modern marching band and drum corps. This section of percussion is crucial to the entire production by a group. The pit creates an added effect when properly incorporated into a band. The purpose of this experiment is to discover the best technique to mic a marimba for the Woodland High School front ensemble. The front ensemble, also known as the pit, has struggled for the past three years to find the best technique for marching competitions, or inside for rehearsals. The study is important to society, especially those who attend or have connections to Woodland High
