I'm kinda late in asking, but is anyone going tomorrow to watch the show?
Want to meet up? I'm new to the Northwest and want to meet some drummers.

I have a Yamaha SFZ marching snare. I bought it brand new in the summer of 2005. I'm ok at tuning but I have a few issues with my drum. I have a Remo Whitemax on the top and a standard, thin, clear side-head on the bottom. When I play hard for about an hour or so, one or two of the bottom tension rods will come loose and even fall out and I have to keep screwing them back in. Is there a simple reason for this? How can I fix it?
Also: No matter what I do, the gut snares won't get flush with the bottom head. What should I do?
Would it help if I took a picture? Or added a video on Youtube?

The Illini Drumline will be sponsoring the 7th annual drumline clinic on April 24th, 2010. This clinic is a great chance to improve drumming skills under the direction of current and former members of the Illini Drumline as well as current and former members of prestigious Drum and Bugle Corps. Come join the Illini Drumline for a full-day, hands-on drum camp. Learn from the best at this interactive clinic located on the University of Illinois campus. Snares and tenors will get group instruction and private lessons on technique, rudiments, practice skills, and all aspects of marching percussion.
This clinic is presented by the Marching Illini Drumline (University Bands, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign). All staff and instructors are volunteers, and all proceeds benefit the University of Illinois Foundation's Marching Illini Drumline Scholarship Fund.
Feel free to e-mail idlclinic@gmail.com with any questions! We hope to see you there!

Ok, long story short, I will be transferring colleges, and when I audition for the drumline there on April 10th, I'm trying out for Bass 5 (please don't question: I have my reasons, please leave it at that).
To give a quick rundown, I played bass drum my freshman year of H.S., all three other years in H.S. on quads, and finally I played a year of quads in university marching band.
I just need some tips to make sure I play the drum right. I have the basic idea of what I need to do (the right way), but I also know that mallet and head sizes differ between drums in a bass line.
If it helps, the drum (if I was told correctly) will be a 30" drum. Maybe 32". Not sure on that though.

For those of you in High School, how many musical groups/activities/clubs/classes are you in? I'm just curious as to what everyone else does. (For those not in High School, you can list what you did do in High School haha.) List yours. 
Mine are:
Marching Band (class)
Jazz Band (class)
Percussion (class)
Winterline (activity I guess you can say?)
