when an instrument is in b flat (such as trumet tenor sax or french horn) it means that if a c tuned instrument is playing in c (such as a piano guitar banjo or most instruments) the french horn has to be transposed down two flats and 6 notes. But if it was in f it would have to be only one flat less and each note would have to be transposed as such.

Is a marching French horn the same as a regular French horn?
No. A marching french horn, also called a mellophone, has a shape more like a trumpet with a large bell facing forward. A "regular" french horn has the bell facing backwards. You use your left hand to play the french horn and your right hand to play the mellophone. Fingering also changes to that identical to a trumpet, or a B-flat Horn (the E's and D's are fingered differently). Some mellophones are made to be used with a trumpet (cornet) mouthpiece, but there are adapters you can use to use your horn mouthpiece. Other mellophone are made to be used only with a horn mouthpiece.
What pitch does a horn have?
The french horn is typically pitched in F. Double horns are pitched in F and B-flat (they have a thumb valve that switches it from F to B-flat). Single B-flat horns aren't rare but are definitely not as commonly used.
