In musical terms, a {{w|March (music)|march}} is a style of music that has a strong, consistent rhythm, and was originally written to be played while marching. Historically, military bands performed marches. However, since then, marches have become standard in the wind ensemble and marching band repertoire. Typical to the march style is a brief introduction passage that generally features the percussion section- namely the snare drum, bass drum, and crash cymbals. Also customary to the march style is the preference of using the higher-pitched piccolo over its flute relative. However, in the HD remake versions, the flute is also used, playing a minor, accompaniment part in the background. The melody that is traded off between the different instruments is based off of the actual lyrics to the original Mickey Mouse March<!--does not belong in quotation marks--> from the Mickey Mouse Club. What truly distinguishes the ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' arrangement is the slightly faster tempo (which is not customary to traditional marches), the increased use of auxiliary percussion, and the banjo. This reflects the difference in tone required to separate the formal Disney Castle from the livelier Disney Town and Dream Festival. | In musical terms, a {{w|March (music)|march}} is a style of music that has a strong, consistent rhythm, and was originally written to be played while marching.
