Is being in a Drum-line or Marching Band considered doing some kind of sport?
Rachel asked:
Some people think that Marching Band and Drum-lines aren’t considered sports. Recently being part of a drum-line, i have realized that it can be considered a sport in my eyes, yet some people still tend to disagree.

What Kind of metronome do Drum Corps use?
JJ save asked:
I help instruct my old school’s marching band from time to time (particularly the drumline) and I wanna help them get a little more dedicated. I want to get them a metronome that Drum Corps use but I have no idea what kind it is. Anybody know? and money is not a factor here.

Alex asked:

They gloat that they’re the best when they slow the tempo down, play louder than the band, and don’t watch the drum majors. I want someone else’s opinion about this.
