August 13 as part of the final day of the 2022 Drum Corps International World Championships in Indianapolis, drum lines from across North America faced off as part of the return of DCI’s popular DrumLine Battle to the annual SoundSport Music & Food Festival.
DrumLine Battle allows percussionists to feature their best two minutes of drumming, stick tricks, visuals, acrobatic stunts, high adrenaline movement and a whole lot of attitude. Battles are evaluated on-the-spot by a panel of three judges who not only take into account drumming skills and proficiency but also showmanship and a group’s ability to get the crowd to “give it up” for their performances.
