I actually played mallets myself, and from the few competition tapes I listened to the judges said that I was one of the best they had heard in the area. This year however (and hopefully until I graduate), I'm one of the drum majors for our band.

But when I've been on I've noticed some activity in the guild. Hopefully once you get back we can get on rolling.

^I'm in percussion myself, although I'm on the bass drum.(oh... my back)

P.S. It's been really hard finding people to invite to the guild, as most of the people that don't have guilds that I can find don't seem like the nicest of sort.

Glad to hear that there's still a bit of activity within the guild, glad to see we didn't die out again while I've been gone. Hopefully I'll be back on in the next week or so and I can get back to recruiting and coming to events. :-)

Not to get too off topic, but since you're a drum major, when marching practice is over, do you select which sections get to leave first? I've always found it rude that the drum major here switches between sections, but always makes the drumline/pit leave first. It gets really annoying.
