DrumLine London

The Battle of Flower Pot Gate

A competitive tournament of technical skill, performance flair and raw bravado in the magnificent gardens of London's Historic Royal Palace, Hampton Court.

Marching Band DrumLines – snare drums, cymbals, tenors and bass drums – from the United Kingdom and the United States of America will go head-to-head in a fast paced, knock-out style competition. A fine line will separate the DrumLines on the battlefield and the margin between victory and defeat will be razor thin. Spectator support will cast influential favour and factor in the judge's instant pollice verso! To the victorious DrumLine will belong the spoils: the King's Shield (in addition to ultimate bragging rights).

The drum battles will take place on the East Front Lawn, close to the Flower Pot Gate.
