DESCRIPTION:
It is with great pleasure that the Hellcat drum section pays tribute to our distinguished Hellcat predecessor and PAS Hall of Fame recipient John S. Pratt through the performance of one of his most famous snare drum solos "Drum Corps On Parade." In this video, The Hellcat section puts their own creative stamp with the addition of a newly composed bass drum part as well as additional interpretations and dynamic phrasings. The style and vocabulary of this performance is typical of what one would still hear on the parade grounds today at West Point, where drummers have provided the pulse to our Nation's leaders since first established by General George Washington; thus, earning the unique distinction as the oldest continuing drum position in America.
