The key difference is you can actually march to that music. Fortunate son is slightly too fast for a proper pace which is why the front of the one group was wavy and people were out of step. Also if anyone was actually calling cadence, the people on the left side probably wouldn't have been able to hear it over the music.

Marching can be done to no music.

Side ranks keep sideeye on the element leader to the side, everyone else keeps side eye to the person on their right.

There are also the marshall with the whips. If all else fails, you keep cadence to that.

In a silent march, you keep in step with the "Clomp clomp clomp", which also, is quite easy to do, and is done often.

Yeah, you literally just keep the beat in your head. Anyone can do it.

Runs through my head when walking alone, 15 years later.
