Pearl is proud to have many of the top performing percussion ensembles in the world on its roster, including Music City Mystique, The Blue Knights, Gateway, Surround Sound, Avon High School, Center Grove High School, Plymouth-Canton High School, Hilliard Darby High School, King Phillip Regional High School and many others.

"Pearl has been a huge supporter of the indoor percussion activity from very early on in WGI history,” says Bart Woodley, Marketing Manager for WGI.  “It is great to see Pearl re-affirm their commitment to music education by becoming a Presenting Sponsor of WGI Sport of the Arts.  We are fortunate to have them on our team."

Pearl created its Articulite Series of marching percussion to specifically address the demands of the indoor percussion environment.  These drums feature shallower depths for a tighter, more focused sound, and lighter weight for enhanced mobility. 

 "It is always gratifying to be able to support youth and the art of music in such a positive way,” says Rudy Gowern, Marching Percussion Marketing & Product Manager. “Winter Guard International is a leading force in the world of percussion education, and we are very excited and honored to be called the official drum company for the Sport of the Arts.”
