South Cobb Drumline

I marched in the drumline for the first two years in high school. For the most part, it was an enjoyable experience. I was able to make friends with older classmates, enjoyed playing the drums, liked the competitions, enjoyed eating an Arby’s sandwich on a bus ride back to the school, was terrified of and thrilled at band camp, and got to play in Neyland Stadium (home of the Vols) for a professional pre-season football game.

We (drumline) were very good my second year. I remember placing third in a state competition.

I recently found some sheet music from those days in some music books I saved. Here is the “Street Beat” from my sophmore year. The drumline used the street beat to march the band into the stadium and parades.

I plan to post them all soon. The above link is to a hi-res version that can be printed.
