Indoor Drumline
The Thunder on the Mountain
The Liberty University Indoor Drumline (LUID) is an auditioned percussion ensemble dedicated to excellence in the marching arts.
Liberty University’s Indoor Drumline is an athletic entertainment drumline that adds tremendous energy to the arena at Liberty University home games. Their halftime performance, “The Thunder on the Mountain”, pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in the indoor drumline activity, and the spirit and hype the Indoor Drumline brings to the Liberty Arena environment are unmatched.
Founded in 2012 as a small competitive indoor drumline, LUID became a circuit champion, regional medalist, and national championship finalist in multiple classes throughout its history, winning PIA Bronze at World Championships in 2014 and PIO 5th place at World Championships in 2019. It consistently produces excellent percussionists who love the Lord and are well-equipped to teach and compete in the indoor drumline activity at the highest levels.
