Im okay with 5 if they are tight...our DMs haven't been our strongest feature in the past couple of season

Unlike most HBCUs, we have never really "featured" our drum majors. Their role has been simple... direct the band on and off the field rather than showcase their dancing and prancing skills. Based on this video we look like we may be moving to the more traditional role for our drum majors. It's too soon to say but it's worth watching. Personnally, I don't care as long as it's done well. And no matter what style they select, someone will not like it.
As for the number of drum majors, with Dr. Ruff it has nothing to do with the overall size of the band. Over the years we've typically had 2, 3 or 4 drum majors... and one or two years we had 5. There's no "rule" that says you have to have this many band members to have 5 drum majors.

The drum majors appeal have been what separated us from BCU and JSU.

I don't understand either saabman. BCU's Drum majors are good but I would hate for our Drum majors to perform like JSU's. What separates our band from those two is our creativity.

What separates the BGMM isn't the 3, 4, or 5 people out front but the 200+ bandmembers behind them.

No way you need 5 or more if we not marching 250. A&T usually has 3 or 4. Looks like some training of some underclassmen
