But fewer women are confronted with that phrase as blatantly as in the past. More people accept that there should never be an instrument labeled as more ‘feminine’ or ‘masculine.’ Anyone can play anything with the right education and work ethic.” “There are many inspiring women out there doing amaz- ing work,” Taylor says. “I wrote a research paper in college “Here is another pattern many female percussionists also about the International Sweethearts of Rhythm.

There are women on snare lines as well, but there can be an unspoken hierarchy within percussion sections—like the snare line is the most important, followed by the tenor line, and then the bass line. It doesn’t make a lot of sense, considering each section serves a different purpose and they all pose vastly different challenges, but that’s the way it is. This may be why it is more difficult for a girl to earn a spot on the snare line versus the bass line. This hierarchy even exists in the front ensembles: The more mature groups have an understanding that everyone is important, so the hierarchy is not as pervasive.” According to Taylor, directors and instructors are becom- ing more receptive to handing girls mallets and drumsticks. “This is a conversation that is happening more openly and 20 19 19 20 S SOUVENIR OUVENIR 51 51 YEARBOOK YEARBOOK
