The hardest working, yet, most under-appreciated people in a marching band. They take of things that no one even knows about, as to not stress people out.
They work very hard for their positions.
Almost the entire band thinks that drum majors are "power happy."

Drum Major: I'm so glad we were able to find more drum sticks before the director found out and punished everyone ...
Guys, please go put your uniforms away before going home!
Band Member: Why don't they do it themselves?!
Band Member 2: The power has gone to their head.

Annoying, Wanna-be Drill Sergeants, who are always messing up the tempos. Drum Majors lead the entire band in Marching Drills, Musical Rehearsals, etc. they basically exist so the Band Director doesn't really have to do anything.

Very talented musicians. Friends of all band members. And they conduct the band at certain events. And every one in the band loves them if not you have a sucky band.

Person that conducts a Marching Band of sorts. This highly regarded individual is thought of as keeping the band together as they perform for an audience, when in reality, about 95% of the band is listening to the drumline who are in fact the true conductors of a band. If the band and the drumline are not together in the music everything thing will in short, go to hell. Hence, no one is really watching the drum major as they perform because as we all know, they lack the basic music fundamentals of tempo and time once they step up onto their pedestal.
Freshman Band Member: Hey, which Drum Major should I watch as we march?
Veteran Member: Fuck that shit. Just listen back to the drums.
