Ok last year I joined marching band after the first game. And I got put on pit. And I played Vibraphone. What is some good scales or practice. If you could send it to me. Or post and Ill look up.

Well, I believe that all scales are good scales.

As for exercises, there are thousands of good exercises. Start simple and just learn 8's in all key signatures.

Start with your basic scales, then learn the minor scales, then melodic minors, harmonic minors, and their occampaning arpeggios.

Get a book, Modern School for Xylophone, Marimba, and Vibraphone is a good book by Morris Goldenberg. Reading out of something like that or playing around with any exercises that your school already has is always fun.

My advice would be to learn all major scales (and arpeggios) and then minor scales (and arpeggios).

A good exercise if you want to get used to moving up and down the keys would be something called "Green" which (at least for my school) has a two bar check pattern, and then a scale up and down and then a check again, different scale, check, arpeggio of the first scale, check, arpeggio of the second scale. There are tons of variations of the name and the actual exercise, but it helps getting used to moving up and down the keys at fast tempos (try the exercise slow and then just increase the speed).

If you want more exercises let me know.

Yeah defintly im alwasy looking for exercises

Something that the TCU drumline does is the scale two octaves twice, then the first two notes double stops going up the arpeggio (CE, EG, GC, CE, EG, GC, EC), then go back down and do that twice, then on the last one start moving up the arpeggio, then the 1st inversion (CEGC, EGCE, GCEG, CEGCGEC, GECG, ECGE, CGEC) onces, then play the arpeggio twoice two octaves. Now I know that's confusing, so I'll spell it out in one scale:
