DRUM MAJOR

The primary responsibilities of Drum Majors in this organization are as follows:

• To consistently demonstrate an example of the utmost excellence in the areas of personal
responsibility, discipline, respect, integrity, work ethic, positive attitude, behavior and
musicianship.

• To maintain open lines of communication with the Band Director and Captains to discuss goals
(and how to achieve them) and problems (and how to fix them).

• To guide and direct section leaders to ensure that expectations of responsibility, discipline, respect,
integrity, work ethic, positive attitude, behavior and musicianship remain consistent throughout
the Marching Band.

• To encourage and promote personal responsibility, discipline, respect, integrity, work ethic,
positive attitude, behavior and musicianship among the band/guard membership.

These responsibilities are not exclusive to Marching Band season, but are year-round responsibilities.

Drum Majors are expected to lead both out on the marching field and in the classroom.

There are two possible Drum Major positions in this organization: Drum Major and Assistant Drum Major.
