You Could Be A Part of the Panthers Game Day Experience
There is nothing quite like Bank of America Stadium right before kick-off on gameday. The excitement in the air, the roar of the crowd, the excitement in the air, the glimmer of pom poms, and the sound of the drums.
But why just sit in the stands and experience it when you could be a part of that magic? If you or someone you know has experience with snare, tenor, or bass drums or cymbals this could be your chance. The Panthers organization is holding open auditions for their Purrcussion Drumline beginning on Saturday, March 21st. If you’re interested in auditioning it’s highly recommended you attend open rehearsals as well on Saturday, March 14th.
