There are 6 musicians that play a brass instrument in the band. I know this because to find 5% of 120, you multiply 120 by 0.05, which equals 6. So, that means 6 out of the 120 musicians are in the brass section, making them the shining stars amongst the woodwinds and percussion!

In marching bands, brass instruments like trumpets, trombones, and tubas add a bold and vibrant sound that carries across parades and stadiums. These musicians often have to master not only their instruments but also the art of marching, which takes coordination and practice—just another reason they deserve a special shout-out in the band lineup!
