The greatest of the forgotten instruments in band. Mellophones are the marching version of a French horn, because french horns don't project properly to be used for marching. Many schools nowadays don't have them however, since EWHS is the best, we do. They're played in corps and often the people that play them are pretty timid, unlike their similar looking trumpets. Mellophones are the best!!!

Non Bandgeek: What's that?
Mellophone player: It's a trumpet looking object in the key of F which a huge bell the size of a French horn bell.

A mellophone is what french horn players march and play in marching band. It's like a trumpet with a horn bell. Trumpet players call it a trumpet on steroids. But really, a trumpet is an anorexic mellophone.
Trumpet Player 1: Man! What is that thing?!
Trumpet Player 2: It's a mellophone. AKA a trumpet on steroids.
Trumpet Player 1: Ohhh! That's funny!
Mello Player: Really??? 'Cause I heard you play an anorexic Mello??
