This movie is all about exposing people to the world of Black College marching bands. not what your preconceived notions lead you to believe it might be. Updates will be posted periodicly to help chronicle their journey to the WGI Percussion World Championships in Dayton Ohio.Drumline is a great movie - but you have to see it for what it is.

We want to show the entire world that our drumline and color guard participants share the same passion for music as their typical mainstream peers.вЂќ Says Brian Calhoun Music Specialist and Director of the FREE Players Drumline and Color Guard We want our drumline and color guard to be defined by their talents and abilities, not their disabilities. вЂњWe are truly honored and privileged to have the opportunity to showcase our talents at such an amazing event.

In May of 2013 we performed in Walt Disney World on the Downtown Disney Waterside Stage as part of DisneyвЂ™s Performing Arts Program. In the past three years the FREE Players Drumline has performed on stages and parades all across Long Island, NY. We canвЂ™t wait to see what the FREE Players have in store for us and they will undoubtedly be a highlight of championships weekend.вЂќ вЂњWe as an organization welcome groups of all abilities and our audiences have embraced other special needs performers in Dayton and other events with thunderous applause and an outpouring of emotion. вЂњWGI is beyond excited to welcome our first special needs percussion ensemble to the worldвЂ™s biggest stage today for percussion enthusiasts,вЂќ said Ron Nankervis, WGI Executive Director. We have 20 members in the Pit, 20 in the Color Guard and 22 in the Marching Section. Today the FREE Players Drumline has 62 members divided between three groups. In 2012 additional staff were brought on board to assist Brian, and to develop a marching section and color guard to help increase performance opportunities. The Stage Dancers would dance while using drum sticks, and would play practice pads or sound shapes during their performances.

The Pit utilized percussion instruments such as stationary snare drums, floor toms, bass drums, djembe, tambourines and the drum set. The drumline was separated into two different groups, the pit and stage dancers. In 2011 the drumline had more then doubled in size. Brian worked with the drumline participants, teaching them different aspects of music theory, rudiments, stick control, proper marching technique and reading notation. Initially he started with only five members with sticks and pads. Their goal: being seen as independent, contributing members of the community.Д«rian Calhoun, a Music Habilitation Specialist at Family Residences proposed a vision back in 2010 to start a drumline at their Theater Program. Participants have made great strides in self-advocacy, improving interpersonal skills, learning to multitask, focus, take direction, and be part of a team.
