Indoor Ensemble

Indoor Drumline is an after school class.  The Chantilly Indoor Ensemble is comprised of two elements:  Battery - or marching Drumline; and Pit - which includes concert percussion and keyboard instruments such as vibes and marimba. Students do not have to be percussionists to join!

Atlantic Indoor Association (AIA) is the local circuit that includes groups from Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina.  Winter Guard International (WGI) is a national circuit that includes groups from across the country. 

2007 Drumline season:

Welcome to what promises to be another great season of Indoor Ensemble. There are currently 34 students registered in this class. The title of the program is "Third Eye." It draws from several different sources, primarily contemporary pop and progressive rock music. The three main movements outside of the intro and tag are as follows: Telescope/Focus, Kaleidoscope/Color, and Microscope/Magnify. There will be plenty of visual and musical correlations referencing the all-seeing eye pyramid as well as the different parts and devices of the human eye; irises, globes, bending, refracting, etc.
