These bands perform a wide range of music, ranging from arrangements of jazz orchestral, or popular music to military-style marches. Drum corps perform on brass and percussion instruments only. Drum and Bugle Corps incorporate costumes, hats, and pageantry in their performances. Other band types include: *[[Brass band]]s: groups consisting of around 30 brass and percussion players; *[[Corps of drums]], [[Fife and drum]]s, [[Pipe band]]s and [[Drum and bugle corps (modern)|Drum and bugle corps]] are mostly ceremonial bands *[[Jug band]]s; *[[Marching band]]s and [[military band]]s, dating back to the [[Ottoman military band]]s. *Mexican [[Mariachi]] groups typically consist of at least two violins, two trumpets, one [[Classical guitar|Spanish guitar]], one [[vihuela]] (a high-pitched, five-string guitar), and one [[Guitarrón mexicano|Guitarrón]] (a Mexican acoustic bass that is roughly guitar-shaped), and one or more singers. *Mexican [[banda music|banda]] groups * [[String band]]s See [[List of musical band types]] for more.
