James Madison University Drumline




Performance Schedule Auditions Music Indoor Pictures Sponsors

The Percussion section of the Marching Royal Dukes typically consists of 9 Snares, 5 Tenors, 6 Bass Drums, 9 Cymbals, and 10 Pit members. The number of members in any section is subject to change depending on the level of talent at auditions, and the number of returning members from year to year.  

Our powerful drumline represents a large group of students working together to produce a unique and entertaining show weekend after weekend. We do our best at all times to set an example for the band and other students in the community. Be prepared for extra rehearsals…we never play the same show twice! Students are responsible for memorizing all exercises and music. We have a lot of fun together, but only after the hard work is done. For more information on the JMU Drumline, please contact Rick Deloney at delonerm@jmu.edu, or (540) 568-6426.
