Oh, what’s this? A universe where buildings are made of bass drums and statues made out of snare drums? A place where morning bells chime with the sounds of glockenspiels and cymbals, Well, that’s no fantasy universe…it’s the percussion section, the best section of the MOB?
But what, you say, makes a resident, a citizen even, of the MOB percussion universe? Well, the universe is defined by the diverse set of instruments that each citizen plays, including but not limited to the following:
- Bass Drums
- Snare Drums
- Tenor Drums (quads or quints or whatever, we don’t care!)
- Cymbals
- Mallet Instruments (xylophone, bells, etc.)
- Cowbells
- Mortal Kombat Gongs
- Slapstick
- Anything you can hit, really
Additional qualifications to be a MOB percussion universe citizen include:
Nothing! We take anyone, even those without prior experience.
We’ll teach you the ins and outs of drumming, no matter what.
As much as we like to bang on stuff, we like to have fun doing so, even in our rehearsals! But how do we citizens of the percussion universe have fun, you ask? We do a lot of things, including:
- Section dinners, whether at serveries or at restaurants in Houston
- Boba Trips
- Play our glorious drum tags and cadences to show our dominance over the other section universes
- Random section hangouts where we take legendary selfies of the section
So, do you want to hit cowbells during Louie Louie? Be the best section at every parade or football game? Or even just hit more things at our stands or in our formations? Then join the MOB percussion universe and become a citizen today!
Get ready to have the best moments ever at Rice! Go percussion!
