Justin Robards

Expertise

I can answer questions on any marching or symphonic percussion instruments. I can give ideas for pit setups, battery setups, practice procedures, or anything else marching or symphonic percussion-wise. I can pretty much cover all percussion categories but I am not as strong as I`d like to be in latin and african percussion. Marching percussion is my forte. PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME HOW MUCH A VINTAGE DRUM OR MALLET INSTRUMENT IS WORTH. I AM NOT AN ARCHIVER. ASK A LOCAL MUSIC STORE FOR THIS. Thanks!

Experience

I am currently a High School marching percussion instructor and I was an instructor for the Kiwanis Kavaliers Drum and Bugle Corps, the Magic Drum and Bugle Corps, and the Teal Sound Drum and Bugle Corps. In addition, I have been the cymbal tech of the WGI Independent Open line Paradox Percussion Theatre and am currently the front ensemble coordinator for the WGI Independent World line Infinity Percussion (www.infinitypercussion.com). I have 8 years of drum corps experience, 4 years of high school experience, 4 years of college (symphony), three years teaching at a Div. I drum corps level, four years teaching indoor drumlines, and I've had the pleasure of meeting many prominent instructors in the drum corps and marching percussion categories. I can help you with marching equipment, techniques, how to start playing, pretty much everything in the marching and Symphonic world of percussion.
