How to get buff(er) in 3 months to march the heaviest drum in drumline?

Last year I marched Tenors in drumline(The drum with 6 drums) which weighs in at about 50 pounds without a cover, and 54 with a cover. I was able to power through, and live through it, but I need to get buffer to carry it with at least some comfort.

It doesn't feel like much, or sound like much, but if you have it on for the 12 hour marching camp weeks, it really gets to you.

So, how do I get buff(er) to march tenors with more ease? Holding the drums stresses almost all of your upper body core strength, and obviously your legs to be able to hold them for many hours.

help??

And, I'm hella skinny btw.

I can't easily walk with it everyday because I actually have a tight schedule, and the tenors aren't mine so I can't like take them home and just walk around with them on. Tenors are loving huge

Just work out at the Gym, should work miracles, also eat really healthy and make sure to get that CALCIUM.

no experience with carrying drums, but sounds like a lot of back and core strength. cardio doesnt really seem like it plays a huge role here (im guessing you dont run in drumline?) but im guessing itll still help some. i would for the most part suggest a whole body resistance workout. things like lat pulldowns, pullups, curls, rows, deadlifts ect, and anything that works your core. muscular endurance seems like its gonna be key here, so even if you cant practice carrying around the drums, try going for jogs with ankle/wrist weights before every workout maybe? my friend who was in marching band always worked out his calves and said that helped with marching, so calf raises and stuff wouldnt hurt either

a good diet to accompany this wouldnt hurt either

high-rep low-load stuff

deadlift to upright row, lunges, pullups, loaded russian twists, no-leg planks, etc. just recognize what muscles start aching when u walk around w/ all that and do lifts and exercises that work them
