I never was the drum major myself but was in band for 5 years.  My advice is to, yes, be accurate, but also focus on being energetic and having fun.  Our best DM's were the ones that went above and Beyond to have a good time. Spinning wheel is classic that is played all the time. Jazz it up.  Get the horns on their feet.  And let the drums pound. \n\nGood Luck

YEEHAW! I have played drums all my life (seriously) and I think the rush of pounding away on something, but still being able to make wonderful (and frikkin sweet) music is one of the highlights of percussion.\n\nHere are my favorite tab sites:\n\n* http://www.mxtabs.net/drumtabs.php\n* http://911tabs.com/drum_tabs\n* http://www.angelfire.com/ny/drummerboy2001/tabs.html#a\n* http://www.tabworldonline.com/drums/

The drums are my fav musical instrument to play and to hear, there is something about playing the drums that gives you such a rush.. hard to describe unless your a drummer

Usually a music teacher.  Mine had majored in music in college.  And if not, the other profession would be professional musician.

No, I've never played Trumpet, but my brother does (He's going into eighth grade next year), and he's pretty good, alot better than some high schoolers I know that play the trumpet. I highly recommend that when you go into High School, you stay in band because Trumpets dominate in band, and I garuntee you'll have fun in band. I'm not going to be in band next year, but if I was, it would be because I play the Trumpet. Please stay in band, even if you don't want to be called a "band geek". I know alot of really popular people in band, who play the trumpet.

A friend of mine got a triple major in Sociology, History and Literature.  They were all areas he enjoyed, and he got good grades.  He was a show manager for "Sesame Street Live" and now manages a major sport stadium.

I EAS'ed in May, 2005.  I am currently finsihing college and have a very nice beard.  My time is my own and I do what I wish (no training days, no formations, no JOB/wall locker inspections.  I "PT" more than I did when I was in, but now it is because I want to, not because I have to.  I was an MP and worked about 60+ hours a week.  It is great being a civilian.....EXCEPT I really miss it.  For everything I hated about the Corps, I am now finding there is something I Love and now miss.  My wife and I have no medical insurance, no BAH, nothing.  The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, I know.  But I seriously am considering getting back in (but probably OCS).  \nDo whatever you wish, but please take into consideration all that I have mentioned, and more, if you have not already.  Or course, if you do get out, you can always go back.

ft drum horrible , my friend and her hubby moved there last yr. cold and boring place in the middle of no where. after she moved there last christmas hubby cheated on her with 2 of her friends and  divorced her and he got custody of all 3 girls and one was not even his. so stock up on books and magazines and look for groups to join so you wont be bored. good luck with the move

not! drummers add a bit of energy to the stage... the lack of one gives the performance a fake... or boring feel... I recommend a real drummer

I wonder how many people who were in band in school went on to become famous musicians and make a bunch of money? I seem to remember reading a few bios like that. As a musician myself, I  regret that I was too late joining the band. I made up for it by joining the school choir instead, and we had a lot of fun. I wouldn't change a thing.
