This is the 2011 NCSU Drumline exercise packet, compiled by myself and NCSU Drumline instructor John Antonelli, with my annotations. These annotations will be an ongoing project for this website, so a lot of the verbiage might be clumsy and hastily-done... it will be cleaned up over time. If you have questions, or recommendations for improving this section of the site, shoot me an e-mail (put "FMD" somewhere in the subject line):

The music on these pages is not ideal for reading (coloured JPEGs); I recommend you download the *.pdf document (left) and print it out, using these pages as a guide for reading it.
