This is why I built carbon fiber marching drums,snare and quad so I could still march.

One of the leading causes of back issues in the battery is poor posture and "leaning back" with your drums on. Just say no to leaning back. Stand up straight you'll thank me later.

My upper back into my neck was really hurting yesterday and today a little. Couldn't march at practice because it just made it worse and we have a competition today. Hope it won't bug me today.

That sounds like a harness problem. The other day my harness got all messed up because it took a 6 hour ride on the loading bus. I didn't realise it at first until my neck started hurting. I adjusted it, and nothing hurts anymore.

I haven't had anything like that, though i know with scoliosis, chiropractors help A LOT. You should check into that...

Hmm I think with that case my the other day I just slept on it wrong, I'm fine now. Thanks for the tip with the harness though. I think mine actually does need to be adjusted a bit (need to get around to doing it).

I think I'm a walking disaster area . . . 2 years of 5th bass and then marching Hexes this year (quints with the double spock). I don't have back problems, but my neck is a giant muscle knot that nothing's helping . . . any ideas? I've tried Icy Hot and Termacare and the rest, but they don't help.
