Marching in time

My first Memorial Day parade in decades. Interesting to see a drummer seeming to beat his drum with the band, yet march to a different beat. How could you do that? I don't think I want him in my dance class.
I know I was in marching band, but I don't remember it at all. I guess I didn't think. Just do as you are told and thinking is not necessary.
My family are free thinkers with some Attention Deficit Disorder members. I was called "Sheep dog" as a girl because I would try to herd them along to the designated activity. Of course, I hated the name, but if I quit, nothing could happen.
I believe those skills serve me as a dance teacher, especially the ones where you back off for a while.
