On a cold and rainy day, the talented performers from RCC loaded up their historic old equipment truck and headed out to Valencia HS, to open their historic tenth anniversary season. It’s hard to imagine that 9 competitive seasons have zoomed by, bringing with them a ton of awards, an incredible array of amazing players and a ‘who’s who’ of instructors AND life-long memories! Along the way, the RCC winter percussion program has earned 3 WGI Gold Medals and 8 SCPA Gold Medals, along with many silver medals.
Dominating the the west coast since 1998, the RCC winter drum line made an unprecedented and heart-warming performance in their WGI World Championships debut in 2002 with their historic show, "The Sound of Silence." Since then, the drum line has gone on to win two more gold medals (2005 and 2007) and placing no lower than fourth in other years.
RCC's drum line has also been featured in music videos with Shannon Brown and JC Chasez, and have also been recently featured in a TV commercial for Five Star school products.
Aside from the competitions and performances, the RCC winter drum line hosts "Summer Drum Days," featuring clinicians by the activity's top percussion instructors.
