It’s not ‘drum manger’ it is ‘drum major’.

A manger is what holds hay in a barn for animals to feed on – it is commonly believed that Jesus Christ was placed in a manger as there were no cribs available in the location he was born.

As for becoming a drum major – it is probably a selection process made by the band director at your school – I would talk with him/her and find out what the parameters for this position are.

Good luckl.
