Maybe give some free advice about: Music?
oh yay! i love marching band!
if you want to practice your marching, i have a decent idea, and it's a bad habit of mine. when you're in a parking lot, try taking either six even steps or eight even steps from one line to the next. that helps with making sure your steps are consistant for a given amount of space.
with everything else mentioned in perious answers, i'm sure you'll do fine!

Yay! I was in the marching band in high school. :]
My suggestion for you is to find the band director and ask if he can give you the sheet music for all the pep songs, so you can practice, and be good at them for next year, if you still want to join.
And as for the marching, they will most likely teach how to do that during band camp. I'm not sure how your school runs the band program, but for mine, we had Wed. nite practices all through summer, and that was when the freshman and new members learned to march. If your school doesn't do that, then it's very likely you'll learn during band camp, because the new members have to learn somehow.
Marching in my opinion was pretty easy, but that's just me. It does takes a lot of discipline, just FYI. It is A LOT of fun though, and a great way to make new friends. Anyway, good luck, and if you have any more questions, just ask, I was in the marching band all 4 years in high school. :]

That's cool that you want to do that =]. But anyway, you shouldn't have to worry about it for now until you join because they'll teach you how to march, etc. You can't really get help until you know the routine they want you to do.
