Earlier tonight, before THON 2013 officially started, the Blue Band Drumline played as part of the Pre-THON performances. They played a popular DCI piece called Double Beat overtop of  Skrillex’s song “Cinema“, which featured the first appearance of the Nittany Lion at THON 2013, with him jumping over the drummers and dancing along! Check out our exclusive snare-cam footage from the perspective of the drummers below!
