Talk:Drum major (marching band)

message: I am not the originator of this page, nor is the main body of the text mine. My contributions, at this point, are the pictures and links. I may make suggestions or additions in the future (with great thought and care). 
I should certainly hope that factions or representatives from the various camps, academies, and workshops will retain objectivity and even-handedness with any drum major philosophy they wish to add.
I look forward to any help or additions to this entry!

For a start, in a British Army pipe band, the Pipe Major or "Pipey" is in charge of the band. The "Drummie" is usually second in command and his role is timekeeping and ceremonial. If the term "leader" refers to the one in front then it might be a Shetland Pony who will be further ahead...  :) Acorn897 (talk) 00:28, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

message: I would dispute that people who march at the heads of bands with maces originated in Britain. Sure, "Drum Majors" (capital Ds and Ms) may be uniquely British. But mace-wielding marching guys? 118.90.44.104 (talk) 04:02, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

message: I would like to reorganize part of the article into High School, College, and Drum Corps as I feel that there are specific details about each of these levels. For example you can differentiate both style and roles between the different levels.  I think that this will make the article read more smoothly so that it does not jump back and forth between these different levels.  In addition, it will be easier to write about one of these specific areas instead of having to include all three in every sentence when talking about different interpretations of the drum major.   In my opinion, these 3 levels, and the current military interpretation on the page, cover all of the different areas that a drum major is found.  Am I missing anything? Thoughts? --Squeeksrocks (talk) 19:39, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

message: Reading the articles Drum major and Drum major (military), I believe and propose that the two articles be merged into one article as there is no difference between the information.
