It starts with the Army. The two drumline teams compete outside the football stadium during the annual Army-Navy football game. The audience alternately applauds each squad.

By utilizing one of their cymbalists to coat the Navy’s drumline in chalk powder, the Army pulls off a shady maneuver. The Navy cleans off its drums and keeps playing unfazed.
