Drum majors LEAD bands. They have no need to out perform the band. Again, you claim to not be demeaning DM's but your words speak otherwise.
Only white schools have one drum major. It's okay to think like them when it comes to drum majors. No need to be ashamed.....I guess.
But the way I see it, there should only be one leader. It becomes too confusing when you have multiple student leaders. Imagine if the multiple drum majors blew their whistles out of sync. That could start a show off real bad. I've seen it happen on the high school level. And having one drum major is not thinking white. IMO, it's the best way to keep one band one sound.
