What all do we do?

parades

Have us come and march in your parade, bringing our signature sound and thunderous knocks and BOOMS to your streets. Let’s have a good time.

Events

Drumline isn’t just for halftime. We do a HUGE range of events. We have performed for haunted houses, weddings, parties, birthdays, grand openings, fashion shows, etc. You name it; we’ve performed it. Let us perform at your next event. Contact us for more information.

Sports & Competitions

We will perform during your game and/or halftime show. If you are hosting a competition, whether it’s dance, cheer, etc, we will perform during intermissions.

Private Class lessons

Terrell Ford is the percussion instructor of Manual High School drumline, South Side S.T.E.E.L.

“I have one goal. That is to teach my students everything I know to the best of my ability.”

You can sign up or sign up a student today completely free of charge. By signing up you help us with insight on how to arrange classes accordingly.

fundraiser 

We are trying to raise funds to purchase the necessary equipment to begin private class lessons.

  • 20 - 40 sets of Gilbratar concert snare stands.

  • 20 - 40 sets of Off World Percussion drum pads.

  • 20 - 40 sets of ProMark marching drumsticks.

It is not easy to predict how many kids will sign up for classes this year, so we set a maximum goal of 40 students and based our fundraiser goal accordingly. One set of sticks, a stand, and a pad costs roughly $270.

Terrell Ford will be the instructor, and classes will be open to the entire city of Peoria and kids of varying age ranges. More details regarding the private classes will be announced once students have signed up to help us understand schedules, groupings, etc. The private class will have a fee for the classes, but you can sign your student up now to show you have an interest, free of charge!
