Eligibility: An individual may be selected to the Drum Major Training Squad for a maximum of two years. Once he or she has served one year of the squad a person is then eligible to participate in drum major tryouts at any point during his or her tenure as a student at Ohio State. There is no limit to the number of times a person may tryout for the position of Drum Major. However, Drum Majors are bound by the same five-year membership limit, as are all other band members, with membership in the Drum Major Squad included in this limit.

The Drum Major Squad, known to the band as D-row, was formed in 1979 to assist in the proper training of potential Drum Majors, particularly due to the unique style and demands of the position. Any student may audition for a position on the Drum Major Squad during Fall Tryouts, during the same week the OSUMB Band is selected. Those selected for the Squad, work as understudies to the Drum Major during the marching season to learn the intricacies of the position and the skills necessary to be an effective drum major.
