Drum Corps located in Ahwatukee
This award-winning Drum Corps Ahwatukee is a program that provides students with the opportunity to learn marching music and belong to a group of like-minded musicians. The drum corps practices indoors at Music Maker Workshops during the summer and outside at Pecos Park during the rest of the year.
Beginners are welcome, and all students practice weekly in a drumline, which is essential to their musical development. This program starts with young children as young as seven years of age into the teens, and with the age differences, this program helps foster mentorship.
