Indoor Percussion

In 2025, for the first time, Independence and Briar Woods students joined with Rock Ridge students to compete as the Rock Ridge Combined Percussion, under the direction of Rock Ridge Band Directors Justin Ratcliff and Patrick O'Rourke, as well as Sam & Jamie Slade, Henry Williams, Colson Meeks, and David Fye. 

Six Independence students performed as part of the drumline, and three in the pit. Their commanding and captivating program was titled “Deja-Vu.”

Also known as Indoor Drumline or Winter Drumline, Indoor Percussion is a competition marching ensemble composed only of battery (drumline) and front ensemble. 

Performances are held inside gyms, confined to the space of a standard basketball court. Competition judging is the same as marching band, with captions in music, visual, and general effect.
