Feel the rhythm. Feel the beat. UVSC has a new indoor drumline performing throughout February.
“We performed for the Governor and the bill signing party last March as a test run,” said Dave Fullmer, associate professor in the music department. “It was incredibly successful and we decided to formally organize it.”
Currently, the drumline consists of approximately 20 students. The group performs on a basketball court, basically as a marching band but without the rest of the band.
“We are the only university in Utah that has an indoor drumline,” said Fullmer. “We started it up because we don’t have a marching band and wanted students to have a chance to continue their progress in music education. A large amount of students are interested in performing as well.”
The drumline’s next performance is Saturday, Feb. 23 at Spanish Fork High School. Other high school performances are scheduled to follow in March and April. For more information, visit www.uvsc.edu/music.
