Drum Line

A drumline showcase is a music show featuring musicians focusing on percussion playing, specifically the playing of marching percussion instruments. These competitions are very similar to marching band shows. The difference is that they feature only the drumline, or percussion section, of an ensemble. A drumline showcase is a musical event, but is not judged based on musicality alone. Much of a drumline routine focuses on showmanship. Participants usually organize their performance according to a theme, and they choreograph every step and stick movement to create specific effects.
