Drumline - Mayo High School - Homecoming - October 2019

An outstanding drumline performance by Mayo High School in Rochester, MN for Homecoming Pep Fest, October 2019.

I went to a small school and there was only a couple of people in the band, my first time seeing a big schools band performance was crazy. Some guys from the drum line turned upside down and started playing

As an ex-high school marching band woodwind, I can tell you that the drumline holds some immaculate vibes. They have such a different and fun presence than the rest of the band, and they can really get people hyped up. Many schools really appreciate their bands, concert or marching, but this school has some serious spirit.

[@imexisting9734]

Agreed

[@caaaaarlz]

i play the flute right now but as i go into highschool i may transition into band colorguard ! i will still play my flute in concert season tho :)

[@AidanEvansGHS]

Nah, it’s just the band teachers not being idiot and noticing that just playing instruments won’t get people hype

[@joselaparva2356]

I go here and yep, during cheers everyone SCREAMS as loud as we can, school spirit is high here! We have a month dedicated to dress up days (a special one every single day) thats also a fundraiser and almost everyone dresses up

And I’d bet the middle schoolers CANNOT WAIT to be in band, right! It used to be that way at our HS in the 1970’s- late 1990’s. Then the admins killed it. We won all sorts of national and regional titles. We don’t anymore and the band is 1/3 the size it used to be. 😥😥
