You'll get used to it. Besides, you'll be playing snare right? That shouldn't be painful. Excluding the possibility of your arms, of course.

me, I just play flute, although I considered switching to sax, since they're just so cool. :3 according to my dad the fingering are much the same, with just enough difference to make you screw up lol

We do 7-8 hour practices in-season Saturdays, with limited breaks. gonk In the end...it's worth it. It's worth band camp, rookie night, the sweat...everything. Seeing your score up there is what it's all about. 3nodding

haha, I was like that too when I first started xD
I had the sousaphone which was the size of your basedrum I think about 20-25 lbs or something
For band camp we were practicing from 11 am - 7pm I think it was xD;

Omg, holding up your mellophone
with pretty much only your right pinky,
while your left hand holds the music HURTS!
My pinky will never be straight again!

Wow. That is sad. Not the fact that you had to march; the fact the you complain about it so much. It's not that bad if you do it correctly.
