OUR SIXTH YEAR OF SERVICE TO THE DRUM MAJOR COMMUNITY

Welcome to the Regimental Drum Major Association. Our objective is preserving the heritage, history, pageantry, and fellowship of Drum Majors. We provide reference information to current and aspiring Drum Majors. Our many downloadable manuals, information, links, and calendar are provided at no cost. At over 900 members from 40 countries, if we don't have the answer we know someone who does. I am confident that you shall find our site the most comprehensive on the subject. Our emphasis is on field music Drum Majors although the information we provide will translate to Drum Majors of any musical unit. We encourage you to become a member. There is no cost to you. Members receive our periodic newsletter and have access to the member page. We may also update you on topics or events that you might find useful. We hope you enjoy this site and if you have any questions, suggestions, or need research on a related topic, please contact us. And if you have information that others might find useful please send it along. Paul E.

MORE		Quick Fixes: Issue 1: Dress/Headgear Pipe Bands: if you are wearing feather bonnets check to ensure the outer most draw string of the inner lining is drawn and tied so the bonnet fits on top of the head. If ears are touching or tucked under the sweatband, then the bonnet is resting too low. The Bonnet sits on the top of the head and does not lean back. MORE
