The modern drumline is often tasked with making a compelling musical statement in a very limited amount of time, while still being adaptable to fill longer periods if necessary. The pieces in this collection are intended to lend themselves well to making a big impact quickly, allowing for intuitive cuts and/or repeats to fill more or less time as needed.
As gridiron football has evolved to include a greater emphasis on offensive tempo, the time that a marching band can expect between plays has become steadily shorter. A repertoire of stadium grooves suited to impromptu repeats or cutoffs, signaled from key personnel in the ensemble, enables a vigilant drumline to make the maximum musical impact... from the whistle to the snap!
The need for versatility is not just limited to collegiate or athletic venues. Drumlines have become more mainstream and diverse in their performance opportunities, and these original compositions are sure to get people moving and grooving, wherever you see fit to play them and however much time you have to do it.
