Ok, so this is my first year of drumline. I kind of figured it was gonna come with back pain, just because the harnesses. My back has also been messed up since I started doing long jump last year during track. I have the first bass drum, but I'm also a very small person. (5 feet 1 inch tall 
) I'm not sure, but I think we were marching from about 4:30 to 6:30 yesterday..since I'm so short, the percussion instructor said he's gonna have to bring different types of tools to adjust my harness..(It's too low, it kind of presses around my hips.) But the harness left bruises on my back and shoulders...(Big red bruises) and my back is KILLING me! I don't know how I'm going to carry that bass drum for another 1 and a half to 2 hours today....Please help?
