Hilton High School Percussion Drumline placed a very close second at 93.48 points, just 0.55 points behind winner Victor High School Sunday, April 1, at the NY State Percussion Circuit Championships at Onondaga Community College in Syracuse.

The Drumline performed intricate choreography and musical selections to the music of Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Scheherazade.”

In addition to the second place overall finish, Hilton placed first in the “Visual” category.

Twenty ensembles from throughout NY State competed in the event. Since the NYSPC was originally founded in 1996, Hilton has placed in the top two at the NYSPC Championships every year including a record 13 first place finishes, according to Drumline Director and Hilton CSD instrumental music teacher, Tim Stodd, who is currently serving as president of the NYS Percussion Circuit.
