The booming of drums filled Sardis Secondary School’s gym on Friday as high schools from across the province gathered for the B.C. drumline championships.
Sardis was the host school for the 2022 Canadian Drumline Association’s B.C. Provincial Championships.
Eleven high school and middle school drumlines from nine different school, plus a handful of community drumlines performed at the competition on Friday, May 6.
There were seven drumlines competing in the concert class (juniors) and four in the intermediate division (seniors).
Abbotsford’s MEI Secondary took home first place in the intermediate class with a score of 89.9 out of 100.
The senior drumline from Sardis placed third (68.4) in the intermediate class and the juniors took home fifth (71.7) in the concert class.
