How do you come To be the cymbals player in the marching band?

Many marching bands hold tryouts that are necessary to participate in to join the band. There also many marching bands that allow anyone to join, but then have auditions for the different parts of the music and for different instruments. In order to gain entry to most drumlines within a marching band a person must audition for their spot on the line. While it is not necessarily true, cymbal players are usually people who lack skill or experience on other drumline instruments such as the snare or bass drums. Even though cymbal players are usually thought of as low men on the totem pole, they still play an important role in the overall success of a drumline!


What size does a person need to be to play a snare drum in a marching band?

There really is no specific size that you have to be. As long as you are capable of marching drill while carrying the weight of the snare drum. We have students anywhere from very small and under 5ft tall to larger build and 6ft tall. If you are physically capable of carrying the drum and have the proper skills to play the parts then your size shouldn't matter at all.
