The Pride of EA Digital Learning Requirements
The Pride of EA Marching Band uses a digital library and digital drillbook for learning and performing on the field and in the stands. Each student will be required to have a smartphone in order to access the necessary apps in order to learn drill, and perform music. We use Beam as our digital music library, and we use the Ultimate Drill Book (UDB) to learn drill. This also means each student (with the exception of colorguard) will need to have the appropriate phone clip and lyre for their instruments.
