Music. It is a powerful art that many are gifted with. When such a skill is perfected then even the world can fall at your hand, for better or for worse.
That is the creed the Gustav Mahler School of Music, the number one ranked music school, goes by.
That is also the first of many problems with the school.
Once a legendary school renowned for its ingenious staff and beautiful music, the Gustav Mahler School of Music has become tainted with corruption. Bribes and sabotage are common, and passion is all but gone. It is no longer about becoming a talented musician for the world to hear, but about being the best, for being the best at the school means being the best of all musicians and therefore the world.
The drum major is the leader of the school student-wise. Their skills are remarkable and they show leadership that matches the school's professors. To be the drum major is to be the school's very best, so that is why I will take that position. I will become the new ruler of the school and lead it out of this dark age and back into the golden age like when my grandfather worked there. In order to do this I must defeat each instruments section leaders, even the ones that don't march.
Armed with my grandfather's conducting baton and his metronome/tuner, I will challenge each and every player to a chair test and become the new drum major, or my name isn't Trevor Wiseman!
