The "Drumline Name Game", SWAC Edition

What up, fellow SWACPage percussionists!

Well, the 2003 marching season is at an explosive start, and I just thought I'd add a little fun to the SWACPage as I did on the 5th Quarter. This game was a 5Q favorite among percussionists a long time ago, so I'm seeing how it goes here in the SWACPage.

Keep in mind that this is not a free post, just all in fun, and this is only for the SWAC, hence the name of this topic.

Here's how to play:
-Begin with a fictonal band name and location
-Name the drumline you created
-Give some numbers in each subsection
-Name the best equipment, heads, sticks and mallets
-Name your school's colors, band's colors and the signature cadence
-Finally, finish with a couple of real drumlines that act as rivals (it can also be outside the SWAC)

I'll start things off:
