I've started looking over north Texas marking the band practice fields I can find with leisure=pitch, sport=marching_band. I am always open for suggestions! Here, you generally find them at high schools on a dedicated field, or part of a parking lot as seen below.

They're usually a 10x10 foot platform, one to two stories high, nothing too extravagant. My school was smaller though and had a rollable platform that they would bring out on to the field for shows.

Unknown parent • •I think you're correct, but I was in choir in school, not band!
Only the schools that have larger parking lots have a full "field" painted. I've seen many that only go from something like the 10 to the 50 yard line, or some that are even shorter without numbering at all.

Soccer fields after dark sounds pretty cool!
