Showcases marching percussion ensembles of all instruments and skill levels throughout the year, highlighting their unique talents and creativity in high-energy, head-to-head competition.

How do you participate?
Simply prepare a 1.5- to 2-minute marching percussion drum solo (batteries only). Add some visuals, stunts, and stick tricks, and you're good to go! It's that easy and a lot of fun. You can use material from your winter line, fall show, or something produced just for this event.

Battles are staged head-to-head against other drumlines.
Each team will perform a 1.5-2.0 minute solo against another team in their own 12-meter x 12-meter battle zone, separated by a 2-meter neutral zone.
Judges will automatically determine the winning team based on a combination of drumming skills, movement, visuals, stick tricks, stunts, and overall showmanship.
WHERE DO YOU PARTICIPATE?
The competition is run both in-person and virtually.
