DRUMLINE

This 100% percussion-based ensemble is one of our most rigorous and disciplined programs. Students learn to work as a unit through learning to read music, technical exercises and rudiments, and learning cadences for performance. This ensemble is especially suited for marches, demonstrations, and public performances. 

Instrumentation: Snare Drum, Bass Drum, Cymbals, Tenor Drums.

Grades: 6-12
