DiMitri Higginbotham, Assistant Director of Bands at Kennedale High School announced the new Wildcat drumline for 2014.

There is generally two sections in the drumline, the battery and the front ensemble.
The battery is the section that marches on the field and performs routines in coordination with the rest of the band. It includes snare drums, bass drums, tenor drums, and cymbals.
