murd38z Registered: 12/06/04 Loc: Kennesaw, Georgia	Two years ago we had three girls on the top three basses, and the third bass was awesome, but the top two weren't. Well, last year, the top two left and two other girls came in, both from baritone and they had their problems, but worked ok. So, while drumlines tend to be a male-oriented thing, we shouldn't condone the sexism that exists. P.S. I think color guards are a lot more sexist _________________________ North Cobb Warrior Marching Band Pit '01 Snare '02-'04 (Captain-04) Atlanta Quest Indoor Drumline Vibraphone '03 Cymbals '04-'05

Sexism isn't just males discriminating against women. Its discrimination of gender. Males to Females AND Females to Males...and in some cases even Males to Males and Females to Females. Not saying that your line is sexist against boys, I'm just tryin to inform you a bit _________________________ -Kevin Instructor/Tech Northern HS - Owings, MD \| Winter '03 - Fall '04 Patuxent HS - Lusby, MD \| Fall '06 Huntingtown HS - Huntingtown, MD \| Fall '07 Project PIW - Pittsburgh, PA \| '05 - Cymbals Promote Tolerance\|Go Redskins!

ghostman Registered: 07/05/04 Loc: Missouri	I like to see girls in the battery. It's good to know our activity is reaching everyone. In high school I loved "drumline chicks" because most of the time girl drummers are hot. In my four years of high school, and in the five years I have taught my line there has always been at least one female in the battery and many times three or four. _________________________ Everyone is entitled to their own opinion...but mine is right and yours isn't!

Drummer85 Registered: 09/18/02 Loc: Brunswick, Maryland, USA	Why is it that I think people are sexist, but don't realize it? I'm thinking some guy (and girl) line leaders who allow the opposiste gender to join may want to go by the "hot or not" factor. Though this may not be the case in all places, it may be present in others. _________________________ Scott Smith Proud but unofficial endorser of: Vic Firth Sticks and Mallets, Remo Drum Heads Fantasy Corps Director: The Engineers [color:"blue"]Shenandoah Sound 2005-2006 Percussion (Quads)[/color] [color:"red"] New York Skyliners 2007??

ghostman Registered: 07/05/04 Loc: Missouri	I don't know any line that would go by a "hot or not" factor. Most drumlines I know are all about one thing...Being a good line that makes people go "ooooh Ahhhh" not because they are an attractive line, but because they sound good and/or do wicked visuals.

Paragiggle Registered: 09/20/04	Sexist, no, judgemental? YES. Almost everyone here is judgemental, something I've never had to deal with until I moved here, but I'll get used to it. Anyways, out of 17 members, there are 3 girls. We did have 4, but our center snare, who was a girl, moved away. At my last high school, I was the only girl out of 8 people.

DixieDrummerGrl Registered: 12/19/04 Loc: Auburn University	Our drumline isn't sexist I'm 1 of the 5 girls on the line (out of 26 members total). After a while you get treated like "one of the guys" except for the occasional flirting sometimes. _________________________ 2006

DCI_Fan590 Registered: 03/24/05	I don't think our drumline is sexist at all. There's one girl on our drumline who plays tenor and i hope to be the next to play bass drum. It may seem little but not ~~alot~~ a lot of girls are interested in playing drums.
