Story

In April 2024, Charles Towne Percussion traveled to Dayton, Ohio to compete in Winter Guard International, where we will get to compete with groups from around the world. They placed second in the competition, with a high organizational score of 93.038. Our hope is to use this campaign to help jumpstart the 2025 season.

Charles Towne Percussion, a non-profit organization founded in 2018, does amazing work in providing instruction, education, and performance opportunities for students. Our mission is to instill a sense of pride and excellence in student while also competing with other groups similar to us. WGI is called the "Sport of the Arts" because it brings music to life through performance in a competitive format. Even with over 45 years of history, the sport continues to evolve and grow. There were more than 40,000 participants at the regional level, and more than 12,000 participants at the Sport of the Arts World Championships this past April.

Charles Towne Percussion competes as an indoor percussion ensemble or indoor drumline which consists of the marching percussion (also called battery) and front ensemble (also called pit) sections of a marching band or drum corps. Indoor percussion marries elements of music performance, marching, and theater; thus, the activity is often referred to as percussion theater. Although most indoor percussion ensembles are affiliated with high schools, there are also many independent groups that draw participants from a large area.
