Okay, so I have just joined band in January (it's my eighth grade year) and we are starting to march (we have to for our town's Memorial Day Parade). I play mallet percussion full time and the bell's shoulder harness is very uncomfortable. I need help on how to make the harness more comfortable or make it so it doesn't dig into my shoulder blades. Any suggestions?

If it's the back of it digging into your shoulder then not much can be done, but you can usually unscrew the part that attaches to your bells and move it around.

I'll see, but I'm not sure on if it will work.
