Marching Band

How to memorize marching band music?
Well I have the music and I play baritone but the problem is how do I memorize it? I’m good at memorizing piano music but our marching band music has different times so that is gonna mess me up. I need tips on memorizing fast and well and I don’t have a home baritone, I play the school’s baritone. And yeah this is my first year in marching band. I need to memorize quickly because rehearsal for the music is near the end of july!!!!! Please help!
My suggestion would be to play over it as often as possible. Go through and look for similar patterns and find ways to help yourself memorize it. Even when you don’t have the baritone, go over and do the fingerings on a pencil (or something more suited to your instrument – I played flute and that was easiest for me) and hum the music under your breath.
Marching music isn’t terribly complicated, so I would suggest that as long as you just practice the fingerings over and over again, you’ll get a good general idea of how it goes. I think you’ll find that once you get there, there will be a lot of people who don’t have a total handle on the music. It’ll look good for you if you do, but even the strictest marching bands (I came from one) aren’t perfect on the first day.
