Drumline Rough Draft

Behind all the overpowering beats of the snare drums, tenor drums, bass drums, and cymbals; the ringing notes of the xylophone make a colorful addition to the percussion section of Saint Genevieve High School’s first-ever drumline ensemble.

Senior Annabel Navarro has gotten the opportunity to be part of the drumline ensemble by playing the only keyboard percussion; the xylophone. Like any other instrument, the xylophone requires constant practice and dedication in order to master professionalism. In order to reach professionalism, not only does experience take part to become great, rather the passion for it is what makes it acquirable.

Once an announcement was made in the beginning of the school year calling all interested Valiants to take part of joining drumline; Annabel was immediately intrigued. Having a knowledgeable background of playing various instruments, she knew that being part of drumline would enrich her passion for music.  

Annabel, as well as her fellow drumline members, is passionate about playing instruments while at the same time contributing her unique talent to her school. They constantly practice and dedicate themselves to do something that they enjoy.  

Only since the formation of the school’s drumline has a new, renovated fight song been created to give a sample of what the Valiant Spirit is all about. The new Valiant fight song was well received by the Valiants due to its talented ensemble whose hard work paid off. 

When asked about her opinion regarding the new Valiant fight song, Annabel thinks that the song is great and likes it because “it’s easy to play and it is catchy.” 

Not only does she play the xylophone, she also plays the cymbals and the bells. Due to her talent to play many instruments, she enjoys the advantage to multitask with the instruments available to her. 

Although the drums are far much louder and stand out than that of the xylophone, Annabel truly stands out from the crowd. Her constant dedication to music from an early age has come to show that with commitment and loving what she does contribute to the realization of her full potential as a member of Saint Genevieve’s drumline team.
