Hi Joani, I'd recommend you go with the D5100 since its cheaper and I don't think you'll benefit from any of the D7000's advantages.
With a DSLR having the right lens can make a big difference, so you might want to spend less on the camera and more on the lens, for example a zoom lens like a 70-200mm or 70-300mm would be great for taking shots of a marching band.

I really appreciate your advice. Now I'm trying to price this camera; looking for a good deal on it. Thanks again, Joani
