If the director is the god of the band, then the drum major is his jesus. Always a senior who was usually mistreated as a freshman and takes it out on the freshies in the band, but is generally a cool cat to everyone else.
Despite the name, most drum majors actually play trumpet, because playing lead trumpet requires the most musical ability and leadership skills (I was the first low brass player at my school to be drum major ever)

When I was drum major, I told all the freshmen that BFMT ('bout face mark time) in the field show diagrams stood for backflip mark time, because when I was in 9th grade I was told that by seniors.

Tyranny of the Majority: a slang phrase used to describe democracy by people who insist that tyranny of the minority is better.
A system where people are allowed to choose their leaders, with one person being allowed to cast one vote, is tyranny of the majority.

A discounted major refers to an undergraduate degree that is less strenuous on the student. Such a degree is deemed 'discounted' for its lowered GPA score.
Such degrees are commonly known as MRS degrees; however, discounted majors extend beyond the common MRS degree. Undertakers of discounted majors often have high hopes for law school acceptance, job markets, and a general drive to succeed.
This often leads to painful rejection; they often do not realize that their GPA is lowered by at least half a point when compared to real majors.
Flaunting about a discounted major is like passing a driving exam. You aren't special.
