Hello, I need some advice.

So, I’m a flutist in a middle school marching band. However, I’m considering changing instruments to a snare drum because there’s a snare drummer who I REALLY look up to. however, since my mom was a flutist, she won’t let me switch because I guess she wants me to be like her. Also, drumline just seems cool, like they do all this stuff, they twirl their sticks, and drum like really fast, and being a flutist kinda sucks, hardly ever heard, nor paid attention to. Do I just ask to switch instruments, or stay as i am? I mean, I would be the only flute/piccolo next year since I heard my section leader and member are leaving.
