As a former gymnast, I was thinking the same thing but the drum major wears a tall hat so he may not need to go back any further for it to touch the ground
@_ohky Depends on the band, apparently. When I was a drum major. I directed and gave field commands. Never once twirled a baton and my audition wasn't based on strutting, though the expectation was for the DM to be the best marcher in the band and be able to teach and coach marching.
@@lavenderjoy79 I drilled the drum majors in my school band. I was one of the best marching snares in the state at the time. Both drum majors wanted me to be the drum major. My band director made it clear that he needed me in the drumline as drum sergeant, to drill the younger drummers. They asked if I could teach them an appropriate drill. The band director thought that was a good idea. I taught them the mace drill used by the British Foot Guards. Both drum majors did not want to strut but wanted to look good. My drum majors directed and gave field, schooled younger musicians.
Mesmerising…..the control, strength …..
The enthusiasm put a smile on my face!
Fiercely talented, athletic, and charismatic!!
He's hired! He looked great.

Pretty good, but you need to get your head lower on that back bend to lead TBDBITL

He’s not a drum major he’s just a baton twirler.
That’s what a drum major is 🤡
I bet he gets his baton twirled a heck of a lot more than you ever will
thats what the drum major is for OSU
