Short Bio: I grew up in a trailer park with my Grandma Lynn and my older brother, Nick, on the outskirts of Seattle, Washington. I've played the drums in band, with the support of my brother's salary at his supermarket job, since fifth grade. My father was never in the picture, and my mother died shortly after my birth. I got here on a scholarship.

PS. I am in the Percussion House.

Sera is right! The most common time for a march is actually cut time and 6/8. 4/4 is hardly ever used in a march. So the house points are:
-House of Brass- 0
-House of Woodwind- 0
-House of Strings- 10
-House of Percussion- 0

So now Concert band has started. You're playing Havendance by David R. Holsinger. The next pop question is:
What is the time?
a. 160
b. 80
c. 100
d. 120

The first house to get it right will recieve 10 pts. And I've decided that whoever answers the next few pop questions will be the leader of that house. Concert band is over and everyone is talking, waiting for the bell to ring.

David R. Holsinger's piece "Havendance" is greatly known to be one of his most ecclectic works. The piece has been played in variation (180 BPM 6/8 time or 100 BPM common time for instance), however, the original composition was written in cut time with a BPM of...

A. 160
