Cumberland Drum Camp

Welcome to the home of the University of the Cumberlands Drumline.

August 1 , 2011

Happy Summer!! It's great to have the website back!

Plans are being made for band camp at UC in August. The current plan is for percussion students to show up at 9:00AM on Friday morning, August 12, 2011. We will work on drums and have auditions in the morning so that we can spend all afternoon and evening on Friday learning exercises and cadences, etc. The band is coming in on Saturday this year. We will post more information here soon. You should be receiving a letter from our director of bands, Dr. Steven Sudduth.

For more information about other upcoming music events at UC, please visit the UC Music Department Calendar Of Events.

The webmaster will soon update the Cumberland Drum Camp page. Please visit the Cumberland Drum Camp page here.

Please ask your friends who are alumni to submit their pertinent information so that we may include it on our Alumni Profiles page. We are attempting to gather history about the drumline, complete the drumline family tree, and keep everybody up-to-date with what is going on in the world of the UC Drumline.
