The Warhawk Marching Band Percussion Section is
comprised of the front line (pit) and the drumline (battery). All new percussionists, and current percussionists
auditioning for a different segment of the section, will perform a brief audition at the start of band camp for placement
in the percussion section. The drumline plays cadences, and numerous hip beats in the stands at football games, and
plays routine warm-ups before every rehearsal starting at 3 PM. After the WSMA State Marching Band Championship show,
the drumline performs to hype up the crowd before scores are announced in front of THOUSANDS of marching band fans! Be sure
to download and print the music on the left side of this page! For further questions about the percussion section, please
contact Tobie Wilkinson.
