Union High School’s Indoor Drumline earned First Place at the 2023 Winter Guard & Percussion of Oklahoma (WGPO) State Championship event on Saturday April 8. Just one week after the Union HS Winter Guard won the WGPO Scholastic A Class State Championship, the Union HS Indoor Drumline was crowned the Percussion Division Scholastic Open Classification State Champion with a score of 89.00, the highest among all 80+ competing ensembles of the entire WGPO circuit during the 2023 season.
Returning to competition for the first time since Spring 2020 when the pandemic truncated a promising season, the 2023 Union Indoor Drumline travels to Dayton, Ohio to compete at the WGI Percussion World Championship, April 19-22. Supported by a sensational team of teaching staff, creative designers, & volunteers, the Drumline is led by first-year Union Percussion Director Mr. Garett Dwyer, UHS Class of 2018 alumnus and 2022 graduate of the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music.
