I just realized the old link I had regarding this in the sticky no longer works, so I'll have to fix that. :o
Ironically, last night while waiting for Salvage to start, I did my maths to figure out which "tier" I'm currently at (I'm sitting at 505 total skill- 225(base wind)+225(base singing)+47(gear)+6(singing merit)+2(wind merit)).
The best reference chart can be found
here on BlueGartr's Wiki. For those not feeling like following the link...

Equipment
Modified by Following Equipment
Royal Spearman's Horn: March +1
Faerie Piccolo: March +2
Gjallarhorn: All songs +2 "Perfect" Skill gear for March is as follows:
- Chanter's Staff (4 Singing)
- Gjallarhorn (10 Wind, 10 Singing)
- Marduk's Tiara (7 Singing)
- Wind Torque (7 Wind)
- Musical Earring (5 Wind)
- Singing (or Wind) Earring (3 Singing or Wind)
- Minstrel's Coat (3 Wind)
- Choral Cuffs +1 (10 Singing)
- Nereid Ring (3 Wind)
- Nereid Ring (3 Wind)
- Astute Cape (5 Singing)
- Choral Cannions +1 (8 Wind)
- Oracle's Pigaches (5 Wind)
It also requires Singing and Wind skill to be merited, with at least* 5 upgrades in each (or some combination equating to 20 extra skill: 8/2, 6/4, 7/3).
Without merits and a Gjallarhorn, but with everything else, the max skill you can hit is 225+225+63, or 513 total skill, which will put you at 11.23% for Victory March.
*=The previously accepted "cap" for Victory March was at 553 total skill, or 11.82%.
As far as I know, it is impossible to surpass 565 total skill at this time- Perfect gear +63, Gjallarhorn +20, Merits +32, +450 base skills.
