ABOUT THE SHOW

Grades 3-12

From the deep thump of bass drums to the lively rhythms of bucket-drums, this diverse ensemble brings a fresh, electrifying presence to the stage. The Pack Drumline combines amazing percussion skills and dynamic choreography in a performance that includes both original songs and crowd-favorites. Their innovative approach transforms everyday objects into instruments reflecting the creativity and grassroots origins of drumline culture.

From America’s Got Talent to the Super Bowl, World of Dance to the NBA, The Pack Drumline has performed on some of the world’s biggest stages for audiences of tens of thousands. Their school show B.E.A.T. (which stands for “Being Encouraged About Tomorrow”) is inspired by the rich traditions of Historically Black College and University (HBCU) marching bands. Students will be inspired by the teamwork, discipline, and artistry on display, while gaining a deeper appreciation for music and performance. Through personal stories of resilience, the performers share a powerful message: persistence and hard work matter when it comes to chasing your dreams!
