Each registered high school drumline perform for around 25 minutes; the clinicians will work with each group towards the end of this allotted time. Registration is $250; this will cover the drumline members and staff.

All audience members / drumlines are invited to work with each section of the MSU Drumline (snares / tenors / bass / cymbals) for a part of the day. Please bring your own instruments / sticks / mallets. No registration required!

We will have a rudiment table. We will have MSU Drumline members with a list of rudiments at this table.  Students can then try to play these rudiments to achieve levels.  The 40 “essential” rudiments are listed here: http://vicfirth.com/40-essential-rudiments/
