I remember us having a few "short" DMs. Brad Toth in 2001 couldn't have been more than 5'9, and Matt Haines in 2004 was maybe around 5'9-5'10.

Brittany Summers (the 2008 DM, along with Chris Castille) is shorter than me, I think, and I'm only 5'7!

I never heard of any height pre-req when I marched. It was all about the synergy between the person picked and the corps, staff, etc. and the leadership qualities they held. They can be taught to wave their hands in the air.

Who was the greatest female drum major in the DCI era? Where would Marcia Hanson (PR) rank? What does she do these days?

She would get my vote.

There have been plenty of great female conductors, but Marcia was very strong...both in her musicality in conducting and her leadership with Phantom.
