Lone Star Classic Drumline Contest Saturday, Nov. 6th 2010

The year’s biggest drumline contest is this Saturday, Nov. 6th at Marcus Stadium at Marcus HS with 82 high school drumlines competing!  Info here:

Definitely see the marching competition beginning at 7:24pm. At the end, the awesome Marcus HS Drumline (see video below) who has won the national PASIC high school drumline contest several times will perform.

The first Lone Star Classic was held in 1993 at the Vista Ridge Amphitheater in Lewisville, Texas. After many hours of recruiting and organizing efforts by the Committee that year, only five drumlines weathered the cold, icy day to perform in the first Lone Star Classic.

After 1993, the Committee moved the contest to Goldsmith Stadium in Lewisville. This move helped the Lone Star Classic grow in stature every year. The Committee who organizes the Lone Star Classic has developed a tradition of adding to each year’s festivities to create a fresh, exciting contest experience every year.

Through the years, the Lone Star Classic has grown from having only five participants as in 1993 to becoming the largest high school drumline contest in the State of Texas. The growth at the Lone Star Classic is a testament to the many dedicated drumline directors who have worked tirelessly to develop their students. With so many talented high school percussionists visiting us each year, The Lone Star Classic has become one of the most influential percussion venues in Texas.

The students performing at the Lone Star Classic have also helped to attract exciting exhibition performances by great area colleges. For example, in 2008, we started the College Showcase Series to provide the many talented high school percussionists who perform at the Lone Star Classic a glimpse of percussion beyond high school. In recent years, we have been inspired by the drumlines of The University of North Texas, Texas Christian University, The University of Texas at Arlington and Texas A&M at Commerce, all of whom have added both to the tradition and the festive atmosphere we continue to foster.

Since moving to Goldsmith Stadium, the Lone Star Classic has witnessed over 650 performances by more than 140 different high schools. We estimate that each year between 1,800 and 2,000 students walk through the North Gates of Goldsmith and on to the field to perform for us. In 2008, we hosted a stadium-busting 67 drumline performances.

The 19th Annual Plano Drumline Competition (PdlC) September 25, 2010 at Clark Stadium in Plano, Texas

http://www.planopercussion.org/planopercsite/pdlc.html

Since its inception, the PdlC has been a leading influence in the promotion of drumline performance. This “Sport of the Arts” has gained much momentum in the last 17 years with the PdlC offering high school programs an opportunity to perform, compete, and perpetuate their music and percussion program through their most visible component, the marching percussion section.

Due in part to the success and positive feedback of our solo competition, the PdlC Solo Competition will expand to include steel pan solos in the year 2008. So spread the word as we begin a new chapter in the DFW area.

We hope your students get a chance to experience this unique opportunity, the first solo and ensemble competition of its kind in the DFW metroplex area.

The PdlC offers something for everyone; be it performer or enthusiast, instructor or student, family or friend. The PdlC, along with its host and event team, offers 14 years of performance venue experience. We are scrupulous about the details that go into a professional event and focused on offering you and your students the best possible experience.
