Samantha,
Marching Band is a combination of playing, choreography, stretching your own limits and of course the social activity. All of these things can be dealt with individually between seasons.
Playing of course by practicing and regular band. Choreography perhaps by dancing, stretching your limits by memorizing the music that will be played next season (ask the director) and maybe some physical activity like swimming, and socializing with the other marching "freaks".

Sometimes you can extend the pleasure by having people videotape your shows and then making a DVD of the highlights AND the lowlights between seasons. Doing a good job cutting and with the soundtrack requires the same precision that you have on the field and putting clips together can give you important insite into what works and what does not!
