How many people try out for the UGA snare or tenor line each year. I really want to make it next year and I just want to know what I will be going up against.

First of all, it doesn't matter...it's not a matter of beating a certain amount of people, it's a matter of being one of the best. If there is 500 people, who cares, because its likely 490 of them aren't very good. You just need to knowif you are one of the the top 4 or 5...numbers mean nothing.

And second of all, all colleges, at least from what i've heard from friends from VT, and OSU, normally have upwards of 40 snares, 20 tenors or something try out. It's quite a bit.

But again keep in mind it doesn't matter how many people there, because a lot of drum staff would rather have 6 snares that are decent, then 8 where 2 can't hack it. (this is of course a horrible estimate for college bands as they tend to want to be loud)

Yeah, I know where you're going with this, but at the same time...I just wanted to know how many, so I could estimate how many people will actually be descent out of all of them.

just go in their giving your best and the results will speak for themselves

Probably close to the same amount that went out this year, and you would've had them beat if you weren't late, no lie.

You were the last to get cut, and you know you're good enough, just practice more than ever.


It's Alex, btw.
