In fact, our drumline doesn't march, alhtough I'm not complaining too much, I have so much more going on, and my drumline instructor says we'd be after school forever everyday.

Yeah, you'd be there after school a few times a week if you wanted to be any good, but that's the case whether or not you march a battery. If you want to be good at pretty much anything, there's a lot of practice time involved.

Nation_of_Bass Registered: 08/09/08 Loc: Northern Colorado	My HS line only had three. :P I've played in a five line and heard many more and it just seems like the best amount.
