4 piccolos, that's a lot. There are 6 total musicians in the flute section at my school, I'm the section leader, but my band director only allows for one piccolo player. At first It was fun to play piccolo and to be able to stand out in marchin band but now because I've been playing piccolo for do long Im getting sick of it and I miss marching with my flute  .i don't think you need any more people to play piccolo because even just one piccolo is enough to cut musically through the whole band. I would suggest recruiting more musicians for the flute section that way you can have a more balanced sound in the woodwind section.  |

They say that a traditional marching band has 1 piccolo player for every 100 members
At least that's what my band director told me and I believe him because I always cut in and I always sand out when I play piccolo, it's hard to balance out with the rest of the band
