If you have Pearl equipment like my school, it's probably sucky and might be broke. Find a model online and make sure yours looks exactly like a new one does. My harness for indoor was a 'Frankenstien' harness, made of two extremely broke ones, and it broke at finals for a WGI regional... not fun when your playing bass 5. 2- You aren't strong enough. Now, I don't mean to be mean at all, but some people are more in shape than others. As chompchomp stated, stretch. It's the best thing you can do to make it easier. _________________________ Millersville Marauder Marching Band (Bass 07-08) Hatboro-Horsham HS (Bass 03-05; Snare 05-07)

HCHSDrummer05 Registered: 07/26/04 Loc: Hattiesburg, MS (USM)	The easiest way to keep back pain away, is simply to stand straight while playing. I know this may be hard on Bass 5, but once you make it a habit to stand straight, 80% of the pain will go away. _________________________ Harrison Central High School '04/05: Plates/4th Bass \| '05/06: Snare \| '06/07: Snare (MCM and Synergy Auditionee, '07/08) Teaching: Instructor, Harrison Central 9th \| Marching Tech, HCHS

This is my first year Marching, and I'm playing Tenors as well. Just don't get scared. I used to never exercise, and I used to hunch over when I walked. Marching Band'll fix you right up real quick. The last thing you should do is get scared because of some drum/s. YOU march the drums, the Drums don't march you. You'll get used to the Tenors, even without a back brace (I did.). I suggest doing sit-ups and squats regularly. (Toe, if you read this . . . stfu. )

Font Registered: 12/27/04 Loc: Miami, Fl	Suck it up. You will, trust me. In my first day of Auditions, I couldn't hold the drums up for 30 seconds without shivering and feeling like I'm gonna die. Now, I barely feel it until after 5 or so minutes. And as time goes on, especially when Band Camp comes around, I'll get more and more used to it. Same thing will happen to you.
