Essentially us drumline members, and only people in drumline, are being forced to go to clinics to help us improve as musicians before band camp, when we do more nonstop music
I wouldn't be getting much out of going to these since 1. I'm really good at learning music fast and don't need help, and 2. I know literally everything outside of show music, like fundamentals, non-competitive music, and really know and can play just about everything the show writers could throw at me
So it really isn't important for my musical advancement but I still have to do it, which is bullshit
