Summer Drumline Schedule
While these practices are not mandatory, they are highly recommended and very beneficial.  Drumline members are in charge of A LOT of music and the more you know (especially the cadence) and the better prepared you are the better your band will sound and the easier marching band camp will run.  So, please be there.

Tuesday, July 18 – 11:00-12:30
