Do you really think marching bands of 25+ people (as all small high school bands are) function like a brass quintet? It's all visual. That's why there are multiple conductors on both sidelines. It's also why there are shakos, baton twirlers, and on-field spelling.
I never asserted they did, would or could.
However, I do assert that 300+ is nuts!!
100 or so is fine.
If it ever got down to 25 or less, I'd rather have a pep band in the stands like we used to for basketball games.
I am committed to the advancement of civil rights, minus the Marxist intimidation and thuggery of BLM.

You asserted that it is important for players in marching bands to hear one another. It is not, regardless of the size of the band.

Unless it's a quintet!!
