What instrument do you play? I played the clarinet (badly) through middle school but didn't continue to do band during high school.

Trombone. So if I were to try for a place in a corps, I would have to learn a different instrument and get great at it.

So what you're saying is you're a tromboner?
I annoy my trombonist friend with that all the time.

I dunno, I've heard some crazy stories from former Drum Majors. That and they had to be there hours before the rest of the band, and I like my sleep. XD

Our drum major is usually getting there when we are, unless the director tells her to show up early. Tome will now receive cake when i make more...
I'm a co-section leader with someone who has control issues, which means I do the work and they try to take credit.

Being drum major was like sculpting, I had to manipulate all the elements to create something fantastic. I had too much fun. that and stress

Thanks. :3
And that sounds like my time as a section leader... We had 4 and only like 2 of us actually did anything... Me and the other Senior section leader had to make sure the other two worked. XD

I'm a high school Marching Band vet as well. Fun times, but never anything as hardcore as a drum corp

I marched for a year, then I moved to Savannah to a school with no marching band. And for all interested, I am a tromboner.

I play Alto Sax in a high school marching band. Lets just say that the band needs improvement on marching in time, maching correctly, and following drill sheets correctly. I'm actually going to band camp next week.
