Our Marching Band going into a big Band Comp. in January and as 1st Snare Drum it's my job to write the Drumline's part.
Seeing as this is my first year having to do this, I really don't have any ideas.
Could anyone give me some tips? Anything would help.

What I like to do is think of a song and make up a beat for it. Then all you have to do is put it on paper 3nodding

Here's my suggestion. First of all, start with a skeleton rhythm. I suggest an accent pattern. Get that and tab it out. Add in rudiments, rests, and whatever else you want to accent the skeleton rhythm. Be sure not to be too repeditive, otherwise people will lose interest.

Two things most all drumline composers can't do: write underlying(soft) rythms, and writing hot licks. I've heard drumlines alot of times that play too much 'stuff' or not enough 'stuff'. I've heard drumlines that come out and play grooves the entire show, and I've heard em step out and tear up the feild with notes for an entire show. neither one of those shows beat us. their shows were boring. nothing exiting in the first, and the second grew old after a while. be cautious writing hot licks, but when you write em, make em tough.

But since you're lead snare you should'nt need tabs at all. Freestaffpaper.cjb.net.
