marches
Rhythmic group strides
Marches is the plural of march—organized walks with a purpose, often political demonstrations or military movements: Civil rights marches transformed American politics.
It also serves as the verb form for walking in measured steps: The band marches at halftime.
Time marches on, and so does progress, whether we like it or not. (Capitalized Marches refers to border regions.)
