It's coming up in thirteen days, so I wanted to bring it up- what are you thinking is going to happen up at Marcus? Predictions, opinions, anything. Here is the preliminary schedule for the competition- http://portal.marcuspercussion.com/portal/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=Bze2KEQgJ4s%3d&tabid=110 Here are the judges (quality, as usual)- http://portal.marcuspercussion.com/portal/LoneStar/LoneStarJudges/tabid/98/Default.aspx Let the discussion begin! I know that standstill silver 1 should be interesting, with defending champion Round Rock gone for BOA, defending Red 1 champion John Horn moving up to Silver 1, and a lot of the Area D powerhouses attending this year.

This is a thread for all of the percussion freaks! This will be a discussion about all drumlines in Texas and what you think about them. What is YOUR favorite drum book? Show? What was the hardest, fastest, and coolest show/book you have seen? Your favorite line in Texas? Your favorite section? Your favorite section from a certain school? Your favorite uniform (sorry, I had to )? Your favorite everything! Do not limit yourself to this year, go as far back as you want!

There are some exciting new activities and events coming out of DCI this summer, one of those being Drumline Battle. We are lucky enough to have 2 of those events in Texas this summer! The Dallas event will be on the Southlake Town Square, June 16th. Check out the event page for more info. http://www.crossmen.org/drumlinebattle

Crossmen in association with DCI & DrumlineBattle are calling on all high school, college, independent, and entertainment groups. There will be two DrumlineBattles in Texas. One in San Antonio, and one in the Dallas area. The winner of the two will compete in a virtual competition against each other. Cash Prizes as well trophies will be given to the winners of each Drumline Battle. This is a great way to get your school or organization's drumline to get together and bond before your first summer practices and band camps. Sign your line up today at Crossmen.org/drumlinebattle Battles consist of 2 - 2 minute segments by a participating group in a tournament style bracket.
