This a short clip of the UMass Drumline battery rehearsing the Let’s Groove section of our Earth, Wind & Fire Medley, part of our 2014 field show. The video was taken on Tuesday, August 26, 2014, in Grinnell Arena, on the UMass Amherst campus.

Each day of band camp begins with a review of the material learned the day before and/or an introduction to the next chart. As the day and rehearsals progress, the percussion section will join with other sections of the band. Each night culminates in putting together all of the day’s work. In this video, the 5 percussion sections (snares, tenors, basses, cymbals, and pit) join with several brass and woodwind players and singers from the UMMB’s small ensemble to rehearse one of the show tunes.

Thanks to John Leonard for this video.
