Crowds were cheering at Riverside University High School on Saturday, December 7, 2019, when MPS drumlines faced off in the annual Battle of the Drumlines. Students gave their best effort with precision drumming, footwork, showmanship, and stick tricks to present a thrilling competition. Congratulations to the Rufus King Varsity Drumline, who took home the first place trophy!
“Battle of the Drumlines is always an exciting event,” said Tony Soyak, MPS Music Curriculum Specialist. “Our students gain so much through music including poise, teamwork, precision, and a strong work ethic. We are extremely proud of what all our students accomplished at this year’s competition.”
Awards were presented to high school and middle school groups. Congratulations to all our winners!
