The Bob Jones Drumline is proud to announce a mutual endorsement agreement with Pro-Mark sticks and mallets as well as Pearl drums and Adams concert percussion. These agreements were offered based on the continual display of excellence by the students in their percussive performances. We are all extremely excited to be partnered with such great products!

Dayton Trip Itinerary
Many times are unknown at this point. When WGI releases the finals schedule, we will be able to determine more exact times. Friday and Saturday performances are contingent on the previous days performance. We have to pass prelims to play at semi-finals; we have to pass semi-finals to play at finals. We won't know our specific playing time until the end of the previous day. We will be rehearsing somewhere at least once a day when we aren't performing or watching other groups. Flexibility will be of utmost importance, as much of the day's schedule will not be known until the night before.
