In the Navy, we have uniformed Drummers who perform as part of a Drum Corps or as part of a Navy Parade Band. Music and drumming form an important part of Navy culture.
Having the basic skills as a drummer will provide you with the knowledge to read musical notation and learn to play a musical instrument and perform as part of a group. A Navy Cadet who develops these skills will be able to participate in a musical group which may include a Drum Corps or a Navy Parade Band.
Our new Musician elective explores the basic, intermediate and advanced skills of a drummer. A cadet will learn how to read musical notations as well as play the drums, performing as part of a group.
