Winter Percussion

Winter percussion consists of marching percussion (also called battery), front ensemble (also called pit) and may include a visual line and/or horn line depending on the show. Indoor percussion brings together elements of music performance and marching. These kids get creative, energetic and a whole lotta loud fun!

The Hudsonville Drum line rehearses from November to April 2-3 times a week and attends competitions in and around Michigan February - April

.  

Membership is open to all Hudsonville students from 7th to 12th grade via tryouts held in Nov/Dec.

WGI World Finals are April 15-18 2026

MAPA State Championships are April 12 2026
