You, like Drummond, might find yourself overthinking your life, or sometimes struggle to understand what you want to do with your future. The book is about figuring out who we are inside, then learning how to fit in. Drummond grapples and second-guesses himself throughout the book, but dealing with outside factors isn't easy! Finding some unexpected help along the way guides him into his role in the band, and in life. When family life outside of band gets dark, Drummond needs to fit into his new family within marching band!

Drummond is the first novel by Patrick R. F. Blakley and it's a much more in depth and developed version of his previous Drummy story. Drummy Drum Joins Marchy Band is the preceding children's book, audio book, and activity book. Drummond is a similar story, based on the same events, but is written for an older audience. The events of the book center around the main character, Drummond, who is convinced to try marching band and gets hooked! The novel was a 2022 Amazon eBook best seller in multiple categories! If you know a young adult, or are young at heart, you will enjoy this story - even if you're not a marching band expert.

For those of you who are marching band experts, you will hopefully relate to this story with your similar background!
