Cadence calls are songs (usually delivered in an eight count movement) that the military sing when marching or running. The songs require a Caller, who normally sets the pace and leads the formation. The caller starts and ends the line on his left foot. The formation then repeats the line, starting and ending on the left foot. If everything goes well, the caller and the formation develop a sort of rapport. The effect can be mesmerizing. The way a unit sounds while running or marching tends to reflect on that unit's morale and leadership. What is the number of steps per minute for Marching or Running? Marching is done at 120 steps per minute. Running is at 180 steps per minute
