About Us
The Palm Beach State Drumline was created as a way to increase school spirit by performing at various campus activities and sporting events, as well as community events. The group is comprised of standard marching instruments including snare, tenors, bass drums and cymbals that perform mostly original material in addition to various arrangements from other ensembles. Currently, the group is open to PBSC students from all campuses, and is offered as a non-credit activity.
The goal of the Palm Beach State Drumline is to create an exciting musical experience for audience members through energetic and appeasing performances. As ambassadors for the College, we represent all students by setting the highest standards and maintaining a level of achievement that displays professionalism, talent and pride in our activity. As the group continues to grow, we will continue to push the standards and commit ourselves to nothing less than excellence. One of the most unique aspects of our program is our fundamental & development system that is in place to assist students of all levels gain the skills necessary to excel on the drumline.

Philosophy
The drumline at Palm Beach State is set to become a driving force for school spirit, but also a way to help students learn and/or pursue a new outlet for self-achievement and teamwork. Although there are many rigors in the typical college students daily life, the drumline is a outlet to perform and enjoy creating an artistic product for not just themselves, but an audience. As the drumline continues to grow, so will the level of achievement and expecations of skills and material. While rehearsals are very focused on achieving excellence, the key to being a successful member of the group is to enjoy what you do, and believe in what you do!
