Throwback Thursday – 2026 Matrix Indoor Performance Ensemble

As the percussion weekend of the 2026 Winter Guard International World Championships kicks off, I throw it back a few weeks to the 2026 Ohio Indoor Performance Association State Championships and the Matrix Indoor Performance Ensemble full out emoting while performing their program, Caged.

Just made a jungle beat by combining multiple drum instruments. You can only hear one variation here, but since I used pitched percussion instruments as components, I can vary their volumes to get "high" and "low" drums. I might use that technique to make some jungle breakcore. For now I'm just sitting with this.

The tuned toms were in front for a while, now they’re on the sides. The cymbals and bass (& bari) drums are marching now, crossing each other, then back.
At the other end of the rectangle is the sole (female) drummer on snare! (Teacher usually uses her snare to start off cadences.)
Some of the students trade spots, there aren’t enough cymbals or tuned toms. The others stand on the side and mark the part.

The next day the drummers returned!
Last time I waited too long and only got to hear them. Today I got to applaud - one of the moms looked at me when I yelled “Shit!” but not on a bad way.
Seems one male adult leading the cymbals group and the other leading the drummers.
Had no luck posting recordings so far, but I might try again.
