STICKS OF FURY

The Sticks of Fury Drumline is a featured section in our Phillip O. Berry Marching Cardinals Band. These young men and women are selected from an audition that consists of sight-reading and preparation of prepared material. Learning to read music is an essential part of being in the drum line as well as using a touch of creative flavor to entertain the crowds.
