Participants of the 2025 DC Indoor Drumline Community Show will gain an understanding of the indoor drumline arts, the diverse community involved in creating unspoken stories through percussive music, and maybe be future members of Indoor Drumline! In addition to counting the number of participants and verbal engagement with the group before, during and after the event, we will provide a written survey for families to complete prior to the end of the event.
