The award winning Hoover Winter Line (HWL) offers students a well-organized program in learning percussion instruments including mallets, pitched and non-pitched percussion, and auxiliary instruments.
In the first semester, the class focuses on the marching band field show. In the second semester, students learn and perform a competitive indoor show. Students who have participated in drumline or front ensemble during the HTMB season are expected to continue in this ensemble during second semester and should be enrolled in the course titled, “Drum Corps.” This does count as a “plus one” for the marching band.
In addition to school performances, HWL will compete on weekends at local and regional tournaments, as well as at recruitment events for the HIM program and our annual GUSD Winter Showcase!
