I've dealt with vet DMs who either: - Completely power tripped and lost the respect of the majority of members - Did the opposite and treated their season on the podium like a vacation The best DM I ever had (from a conducting standpoint) was a rookie straight out of HS. Unfortunately, our staff couldn't agree on how this person was supposed to lead the corps. A lot of moments of confusion. TL;DR - vet or rookie ... it doesn't matter: pick the candidate that's the best conductor and has the best projected leadership qualities, and give them clear expectations. And work with them through out the season, not just the winter. yup. makes sense why there is a position for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some time now, it seems the lead DM is more important off the field than on for many corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
