Drum Line
Drum Line is a club for students of all grades and musical experiences. Students learn drums in a fun, community environment. We perform at parades and school events throughout the year.
Drum Line: We will have more performances lined up this year and will have two separate “lines” that will meet at the same time. Both lines will be assisted by two Ingraham High School Drumline members.
A-Line will be by audition, led by Kevin Emerson, and focus on advancing technique, ensemble playing/balance, and have higher performance expectations. Students will be assigned to an instrument that they will specialize in.
B-Line is open to all levels, led by Melanie Gunn, and will focus on fundamentals and gaining experience on all the drumline instruments.
Meets: Thursdays until 5 p.m. (starts 9/26)

They are responsible for helping to build a positive school culture and climate.
