Highlander Drum Corps
The Highlander Drum Corps is the official drumline of the Riverview High School Kiltie Band. As of the 2005-2006 marching season, the unit currently contains about 30 percussionists, all skilled in various areas of the musical field, but as the name implies with strict emphasis in the percussive arts, mainly in marching percussion. As most other drum lines / drum corps seen throughout the U.S. and other parts of the world, the Highlander Drum Corps is composed of several battery percussion instruments - the Snare drum (small, high-pitched drum located in the center of the drumline), the Bass drum (generally larger drums varying in size and pitch), Tenors/Quints (combined set of 5 or more drums in one piece), and marching cymbals that add visual flair and dynamic impact in the cadence repertoire of the line. On October 2, 2012, they added a new stand for the Highlander Drum Corps in the soccer field.

“It has been an unchallengeable American doctrine that cranberry sauce, a pink goo with overtones of sugared tomatoes, is a delectable necessity of the Thanksgiving board and that turkey is uneatable without it.... There are some things in every country that you must be born to endure; and another hundred years of general satisfaction with Americans and America could not reconcile this expatriate to cranberry sauce, peanut butter, and drum majorettes.”
—Alistair Cooke (b. 1908)
“L’amour pour lui, pour le corps humain, c’est de même un intérêt extrêmement humanitaire et une puissance plus éducative que toute la pédagogie du monde!”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
