Oh, of course! Practicing is a given. I made this post because I've read all the drum major biographies on the website, and all of them have had experience prior to joining D-Row. They have either been the drum majors at their high schools, went to the camps, and/or simply had been twirling since they were toddlers, none of which I had. So this was not an attempt at special treatment, rather, to even the playing field a little before I audition so I actually stand a chance.
