The group of percussionists in any band that thinks that they are better than every other instrument because they can bang more than one drum.
Usually think of routines to make themselves seem cool.
Rarely are good at what they do (although my school may have had their first actual good routine this past week during their compitition).
Usually practice til insane times, but never sound like they've been practicing at all.

The part of the band that thinks the control the beat. That is usually done by the low brass. Generally 1/5 of them are decent musicians, 2/5 are ok musicians with huge egos, and the other 2/5 got lost on the way to footfall judging by their ability to count. Often times will play music so horribly wrong, you think that there must be a physical problem that causes their lack of rhythm.

They are gods of the marching band, but are told they have no talent (fucking flutes all they do is stand with a goddamn sliver drumstick). The drumline also is found saying words such as yeet, its a yes for me, get'm skeeter, bruhv, hell yeah brother, WATER BREAK!, and whats a flute. They call the instructor, dad and the drum captain, daddy. They give each other nicknames such as, Del Taco, skinny penis, daddy, Tyrone, Black thunder, Slim Thicc, Shit Stack, and Annoying bastard.

The most kickass, badass most groovin part of ANY marching band. Consists of boys AND girls. most guys on the drumline are hott. most girls on the drumline are the coolest most badass girls you'll ever meet. Woodwinds hate us because we are loud and have fun. Brass hate us because they want to BE like us. Conductors hate us because we have way more fun than they did in highschool. The Cadences are usually badass and really groovin. Most drummers HATE the movie drumline because it is nothing like being on the drumline. Drumline takes hard work and syncopated ears and hands. Drumline-ers pull pranks. Very good pranks. And it is a well known fact that most drummers are great kissers

The backbone of the marching band. They are often talented, but their talent is often wasted on their cockiness, arrogance, and loud behavior. A drumline mainly consists of attractive males, all of whom act bisexual at least ninety percent of the time. Contrary to popular belief, the drumline CAN read music. However, they usually act so unbelievably idiotic that no one could believe it. The drumline consists of four parts: The snares (arrogant douche bags), the cymbals (weird and unappreciated), the bass drums (constantly running into each other) and the tenors (cooler and calmer than the rest of the section and usually the best drummers). They are ungodly loyal to their instructors. Many seem unaware that they are still part of their marching band family and often form their own private clique.
The drumline was very talented, but they seemed unaware that their loud presence was interrupting the marching band's rehearsal.
