danganronpa marching band au: a thread by a former band kid
a lot of these headcanons are based on real people from my own marching band in high school. im in college now and i really miss my band! i was color guard captain and i played trumpet in class. if u have questions on marching band lingo feel free to qrt!
i probably wont include every single dr character but if u have a trigger of one of these characters im including their names in each tweet!
monokuma would absolutely be the band director. âno breaks until you all get this visual downâ âsip and goâ âlast one to the field is running lapsâ i just see it so clearly
usami is the color guard instructor. my reasoning? her wand can be substituted as a flag i guess?? hopes peak color guard isnt the best.. but she is trying 
monokubs. they uh. stare at the band all day. i guess they make sure everyone is working. and they drink water in the students faces just to be jerks 
makoto would absolutely go from the struggling freshman to the drum major senior. he always had the potential he just needed that confidence to get him there. he played clarinet before he became drum major
hajime ... he joined pit as a guitar player (air guitar sprite) and then he got transferred to drumline because he wasnât the best guitarist. he is trying his best but he gets frustrated easily. me too. also look at this canon ibuki interaction in sdr2
shuichi would be in the woodwind section. im getting clarinet vibes. he is getting better. also very close to being captain. maybe next year..? and kaede cheers him on during breaks!!
kaede is obviously the pianist for the pit!! sheâs also pit captain. her leadership skills would be perfect for that position. she definitely keeps everyone in check and brightens their spirits on long days.
komaru is a trumpet player. sheâs absolutely crushing on the cute flute player in the woodwind section from across the field. their dots may be far away but that wont stop her from chatting with toko during breaks.
toko is that one flute player. she junior techs other ppl constantly (for non band kids this means she is doing the captains job and trying to tell ppl what to do) she keeps noticing a trumpet player staring at her from across the field. the drum majors little sister?
ishimaru is woodwind captain! he plays a silver tenor sax!! he was supposed to be drum major, but he gave the position to makoto because he loves being out in the field and would rather follow directions than give them. he junior techs too but its appreciated because he cares sm
celestia is absolutely playing french horn. but in the pit. no way would she go out into a field and run around. even though the rest of the brass section is annoyed, she couldnt care less
kyoko is playing violin in the pit!! she really only speaks when itâs important. but she can and will get hyped up during competitions. kaede got captain over her but kyoko doesnt mind. in fact, shes glad to have someone else to take the leadership role.
gundham is in the pit!! he plays the xylophone but switched to a glockenspiel during their show performance. heâs really glad that sonia is in the pit by his side. she definitely cheers him on. sheâs probably one of the only reasons why heâs still in band
sonia is absolutely playing oboe!! she would rock it!! however its really hard to march so she stays in the pit with a microphone. during parades she does color guard!!
chiaki is playing triangle in the pit!! her and sonia like to chat while band director monokumas back is turned. she holds the banner during parades with chihiro!
chihiro is doing all of the tech in pit. they would definitely make sure the microphones and speakers are hooked up. also they make sure kaedes piano is connected to the right sound file. once it was accidentally hooked up to a sound effects file agkagskshsj
sayaka would definitely be a flute. shes one of if not the most popular girl in school *winks* and all of the football players watch their show just to see her play!
leon definitely joined to impress sayaka. he probably would join the woodwind section as like a saxophone but later he is transferred to the pit because they see his potential. leon isnt really happy about it, but heâs glad to play guitar instead of being on the baseball team
TOGAMI PLAYS TRUMPET 100% he would be brass captain he loves bossing ppl around also he is the reason why the marching band has any funds so monokuma just gave him the position so the program wouldnt get shut down
tenko is the color guard captain!! she struggled her first couple years in color guard but worked her way up with her determination to improve. just like how i was in high school!
kokichi plays trombone. heâs that one kid who blames his squeaking on other brass members. also he definitely purposely pokes people with his slide âby accidentâ. and he always forgets his sheet music at home
i feel like nagito would be in pit... cymbals or chimes maybe? or both. they needed someone on chimes so he fills in. he only joined because hajime was in pit. but now that heâs in drumline, nagito feels like his luck got the best of him again
