MARCHING PERCUSSION CAMP

Cavalier Band Camps provide a great educational opportunity to the high school percussionist.  They offer specialized training and a glimpse into the world of a Division 1-A collegiate drumline, all in an organized and enjoyable format. This camp is beneficial to the individual percussionist as well as the entire school drum line. Material covered will include basic to advanced rudimentary percussion techniques, marching fundamentals, and performance fundamentals. The camp will also focus on developing and enhancing the marching percussion and pit percussion ensembles. This is an excellent opportunity for any high school percussionist.
