To start with, both my "serious" bands, Mellophone and Dooley, are signed up for the international band competetion Emergenza, and Mellophone is further more signed up for the danish band competition Livecontest.
Lots can be said about these band competitions, especially that music is kind of pointless competing about, but nevertheless it is a great opportunity for new bands to introduce ourselves to a wider audience — and perhaps even win something.
And last but not least; my band Mellophone have finally finished recording our new EP.

 The Eb/F Pitched Brass Instrument Page
I currently own a Conn 8d, Besson Soverign Tenor Horn, 1926 Conn Mellophone, 1960's Conn (Kenton inspired) Mellophonium, Frumpet (Gross!), Bach Mellophone, and a Couesnon Eb Alto Flugel.
In addition, I have pictures of numerous other ODD horns, most pitched in Eb or F. I guess I have a bias toward these instruments, since I play tenor horn in the Cincinnati Brass Band and play the Horn in a brass quintet,community band, and anyplace where they will pay me!!
This page is a shot at explaining the differences between the brass instruments out there that are pitched in Eb/F. I've seen other pages out there attempt to do the same, but I believe mine to be the most accurate of any I have come across.

The main reason that the mellophone is used in place of the concert horn for marching is that the mellophone is a bell-front instrument, so that the sound goes in the direction that the player is facing.
This is especially important in drum corps-style marching, in which the audience is typically standing or sitting on only one side of the band.
