NCAT - Full PASIC 2016 Cold Steel Clinic: The Best of Both Worlds

On November 11th, 2016, The North Carolina A&T State University Drumline also known as "Cold Steel" presented the clinic "The Best of Both Worlds: A Hybrid Drumline in a Traditional World" at the 2016 Percussive Arts Society International Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The Percussive Arts Society (PAS) is a non-profit, music-service organization whose mission is to promote percussion education, research, performance and appreciation throughout the world. Today, the society is almost 7,000 members strong, with 50 chapters located across the United States and an additional 28 chapters outside the U.S. Each year PAS hosts the largest percussion convention in the world, the Percussive Arts Society International Convention (PASIC), featuring the top names in drumming and percussion.
Being selected out of hundreds of applicants to present at PASIC 16 was an extreme honor as each clinician or group is charged with the task of bringing their selected skill to the thousands of percussionist in attendance. What made this opportunity unique is the fact that this was the first HBCU drumline to present a clinic at the convention. There have been exhibition performances from a handful of groups in the past, but this was the first opportunity for a HBCU group to serve as a selected clinician. This was a major honor for the students, staff, band program, the university and HBCUs as a whole.

I just want to say don't stop what yall doing. I just want to thank Coldsteel. I had bad news continuing over and over in the past 2 days. I was struggling so much to have hope and staying strong. no one was there to help me through it. I watch you guys when I'm in a horrible mood, or happy. I watch you guys everyday. I watched your guys videos to help me with my issues today. It really helped. you guys gave me strength and hope. This may not make any sense or anything but it got me through. Consider it music therapy.
