Drumline ensembles consist of the marching percussion (also called battery) and front ensemble (also called pit) sections of a marching band or drum corps. Indoor percussion marries elements of music performance, marching, and theater; thus, the activity is often referred to as percussion theater.
Rehearsals begin at the end of marching band season, typically mid-December. All percussion students are invited to participate, as well as wind students who would like to learn percussion.
Kings Drumline competes in Winter Guard International (WGI) and the Mid-East Performance Association (MEPA)
