Drum Major

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.

freshman

the ones who get harassed in high school by the upperclassmen. This harassment will cause the freshmen to in turn bully the freshmen when they become sophomores/juniors/seniors as if they think the newcomers are their previous aggressors reincarnated, and it is their karmic duty to treat them poorly. This leads to cocky freshmen who get up in upperclassmens' grillz about not messing with them and get a sound, deserved ass-kicking. They treat the newcomers even worse in following years, and so on.

I tried to be nice to the freshmans my first week of 10th grade, but then I thought, "fuck it, it's my karmic duty to kick their asses"
