Plano Drumline Competition

The 34th Annual Plano Drumline Competition (PdlC) September 20, 2025 at John Clark Stadium in Plano, Texas Since its inception, the PdlC has been a leading influence in the promotion of drum line performance. This "Sport of the Arts" has gained much momentum in the last 33 years with the PdlC offering high school programs an opportunity to perform, compete, and perpetuate their music and percussion program through their most visible component, the marching percussion section. Our Solo and Ensemble Festival continues to offer our young musicians a venue to perform their chamber literature. The PdlC offers something for everyone; be it performer or enthusiast, instructor or student, family or friend. The PdlC, along with its host and event team, offers 32 years of performance venue experience. We are scrupulous about the details that go into a professional event and focused on offering you and your students the best possible experience.
