MSU Drumline members take on busy winter percussion groups

The MSU Drumline is known for giving high-energy performances as students execute stick tricks, drum upside down and play music of all tempos. Many of the Drumline members take it one step further by participating in Winter Guard International, or WGI.  WGI members devote their entire weekend to practicing the same show for five or six months. Computer science junior Jennifer Proos is one of those students who has to balance school, social life, MSU Drumline and WGI. Proos has been playing the snare drum for the MSU Drumline since her sophomore year and has been marching in WGI for six seasons.
