Explanation:

The text states that members of Steiger Butte Drum not only contributed to the composition but also must be in all performances. This shows they are an essential part. "Integral" means essential or necessary for the whole. "Analogous" means similar, "tangential" means only slightly related, and "subsequent" means following in time or order. So "integral" is the most appropriate.
