What do you get when you merge “Three Camps,” a 5/8 time signature, five great percussionists, and a modern rudimental flair? You get 5 Champs by Robert Marino!

Five graduated snare drums are all you need to perform this exciting twist on a rudimental classic. With the extended unison rolls and challenging rudimental passages, you’ll want to make sure you have a solid crew of “five champs” to tackle this audience pleaser.

Written for the West Shore Day of Percussion in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, it was premiered by the original “5 Champs,” Ivan Trevino, George Clements, Robert Marino, Aaron Staebell, and Matt Raskopf.

5 Champs ships as a fully bound score and includes individual parts in PDF format for either printing or tablet viewing.
