"All-American" Marching Band Drumline

The Purdue Drumline is the marching percussion section of the Purdue "All-American" Marching Band, commonly initialized as the "AAMB." Performing at the halftime of every home football game, the AAMB Drumline consists of the top percussionists in the department, and is the "heartbeat" of the band. 

While the main season and class runs through the fall semester, the band often performs periodically throughout the entire year. We do travel to some away games, have traveled overseas, and plan on continuing international travel and performance.
Due to size restrictions, auditions for the AAMB Drumline can be quite competitive at times. We recently created our newest ensemble, the Boiler Beats, for students who did not make the AAMB Drumline but would like to continue to play, perform, and gain valuable experience for future years. With the addition of this new group, we hope to be able to find a place for every capable student, not just the top 35.
