With the close of the fall season of Marching Band, the Drumline continues to perform and prepare for the upcoming seasons through the Winterline ensemble. Comprised of both the Battery and Front Ensemble, Winterline rehearses once a week with occasional weekend camps focusing on developing techniques, offering opportunities to those interested in trying new instruments, and application of skills through exercises and show music. The season includes performances at Gampel Pavilion and the XL Center in Hartford, as well as at UConn Football’s annual Spring Game in April.

Recently the group has balanced a focus on basic technique with exploration of exercises and music that would be used in the upcoming fall semesters, getting a head start on the next season. Winter Drumline is open to anyone that is interested, regardless of past experience. Under the direction of Marvin McNeill, Tyler Campbell, and Marco Cancellieri the Drumline works through the semester to prepare for the fall, as well as entertaining the UConn basketball fanbase at home court halftime shows.
