MAPS ANNOUNCES NEW STANDSTILL CLASSES.
Mid-Atlantic Percussion Society will add to its offering several standstill classes
for this upcoming season. This is for those units that utilize typical marching band style
percussion instruments and arrangements (including pit percussion) and for one reason or another
cannot, or choose not, to include the typical movement portion of the indoor drumline activity.
All levels from the very beginner stage to advanced stage will be welcome to now participate in
MAPS in these new classes. We can accommodate those of you who can’t get gym time,
or aren’t ready yet for a full-blown program due to lack of staff, or you’re just starting out.
Whatever the case may be, if you want your percussionists to get better, to keep performing,
and to have a quality place to do it, MAPS is the place!
