Thank you for visiting this site. The COVID pandemic has been some challenging times, and at PT Drum Corps we decided to take a pause and reset. However, we are open now and will be accepting memberships. Safety is our first priority and we follow all CDC guidelines during all meetups.
At PT Drum Corps, we are excited to bring a place for percussionists to get together and play for the love of drumming. We are a non competitive drum corps, where the focus is on learning at our individual pace and to explore our passion for playing as an ensemble.
When we meet, we focus on playing cadences, warm-ups and grooves using a variety of percussion instruments from snares, bass drums, tenors, cymbals and mallets. Some based on sheet music and others based on sheer creative means.
We do not compete in competitions and do not hold a rigid practice and performance schedule. PT Drum Corps was designed to provide a means for those who rather learn to play percussion outside of the normal regiments found in high school marching band programs. We want our percussionists to try new instruments and grow at their individual pace.
PT Drum Corps is open to incoming 7th and 8th grade middle school band students, high school band students and current PT Drum Corps members. Please call if you fall outside this general eligibility.
If you are a beginner to playing marching percussion instruments, we focus your time from the ground up focusing on proper hand technique and playing posture. We will introduce reading drum line sheet music, work on your timing, and focus on core concepts.
If you are already familiar with reading music, we will focus on playing more challenging cadences and marching percussion instruments. Those who are in middle school band, will find this program beneficial in getting them prepared for high school level of playing.
PT Drum Corps is a great opportunity to have current high school marching band members the opportunity to build skills on different marching drums they are not currently assigned to. If you play another instrument in band and can read music, why not explore the world of percussion.
