Chicago Bulls Stampede drumline

The Chicago Bulls now use a 29 member drumline for exhibitions and crowd energy at their home games. Some of the members were in the Bears drumline too. Of the 29 members, 21 are members of the Marching Illini or Michigan State Spartans drum lines. They also mentioned that 18 of the drum line m,embers marched in various DCI drum corps.

See the full story in the Daily Herald. Go to www.DailyHerald.com and search for "Chicago Bulls Stampede".

The United Center looks like a better venue for this than Soldier Field. One of the videos on the net looked like it was from the upper deck. You could almost make out what they were playing. The best part is you don't have to put up with the cold weather. All we need now is for the Blackhawks to have Drummers On Ice...Skating Marimbas...Where are those animals...

Agree with John T about the venue, at least for weather. But, the INSIDE aspect will make the EAR (hearing loss) exposure pretty severe.

Would be interesting to see/ hear their performance though.

The drumline is nuthin' compared to the crowd (assuming they are as loud as when Jordan was playing).

Saw a U Tube video about this drum line. Not at all impressed so far. Too bad.
