Unrivaled rhythm, music literacy and quick response are three of the most important skills necessary for the members of drumline to succeed.

Because of the dedication that the members put forth to get better, they are ready for their skills to be put to use for their next competition.

“I hope that we do very well [this season] and keep progressing like we already have been,” sophomore Jordan Schupp said.

With their next competition on April 14, members are required to practice Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

“I commit as much time as I need for drumline,” freshman Amber Rollins said, “which is basically all of my free time.”

Because the members commit so much time, it is very important for the members on the team to cooperate with one another.

“Everyone in drumline is so close with each other, so we all have a lot of fun,” freshman Katie Busby said. “Competitions are the most important,

and they are nothing but fun.”
