Chad Solis - Director

Drumline is the collective group of percussionists who make-up the battery and front ensemble (or pit) which add pulse, impact, and effect to the performances of the marching band. Membership in the drumline is open to percussion students who are enrolled in year-round band classes. In the fall semester, percussionists are enrolled in a double blocked, first hour class. In the spring, percussion students keep one of those first hour blocks, but are then added to their respective concert band on the next day. Percussion students who have been placed in Symphonic Band or Wind Ensemble are expected to audition for All-Region and All-State. All percussionists are expected to participate in the MISD or Summit High School solo and ensemble contest at the discretion of Mr. Solis.
