First of all, you just need to pick the instrument you're most comfortable with and, most of all, the one you like the most. Second, quit your drum corps and get your butt in the practice room and take lessons all summer. Don't ever march drum corps again, it's a waste of your time. Some people might say it depends on what corps you're marching, but that's bogus. You should be at home practicing on your own and working with a good teacher all summer. Take it from me, I marched five years of drum corps, and while it was a great experience I wish that I had spent that time in the practice rooms and all that money on a good teacher for the summer. No matter how good the corps is, they will hold you back for that very reason... BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT IN THE PRACTICE ROOM!!!
