This excellent article by Lindsey Richelle Gore addresses the subject of correct use of the body providing physical relief for members of marching bands.
In my experiences as a clinician with marching bands, I have noticed other huge bonuses of correct use (or even improved use!):
- Good body mapping results in economy of motion for more precise and better unified movements-It looks sharp!
- Good body balance allows for better breathing and air efficiency, resulting in better tone and intonation
- Morale of the ensemble quickly rises due to the noticeable improvement
Happy summer!

Dear Anonymous,
Thanks for adding this comment. I apologize for not including the link in the original post.
I am still getting used to the idea that folks might read blog this who don't know what Alexander Technique is or how it could help them.
I will use this opportunity to direct my readers to find out more about Alexander Technique and how to locate a teacher near them by visiting the website: http://alexandertechnique.com.
