Indoor Drumline
The Thunder on the Mountain
The Liberty University Indoor Drumline is the official athletic drumline of Liberty University’s Arena, bringing elite and exceptional performances to the court during basketball season, and performing for the student body at various other campus events.
The “Thunder on the Mountain” adds tremendous energy to the arena at Liberty University home games. Their cutting edge halftime performances push the boundaries of what’s possible in the indoor drumline activity.
The drumline is led by a hands on staff with a wide variety of marching arts expertise, and members receive world class percussion instruction and a top tier educational experience in a Christian environment. The drumline consistently produces excellent percussionists and educators who love the Lord and are well-equipped to teach and compete in the indoor drumline activity at the highest levels.
