Fifteen Yard Gain
STYE558 · Drum Corps · Rick Troy Balentine
2:05·144 bpm·7 versions
Drum CorpsCollege Band, College Cadences, Drum Core

Live drumline cadence at a brisk 144 BPM, built from snare rudiments, bass and tenor drums, crash cymbals and a drum major's whistle cue. Short and punchy at just over two minutes, it drives forward without melodic content, so dialogue and commentary sit easily on top. Suits a big gain on the ground and the crowd reaction that follows.

The 50 Yard March
STYE558 · Drum Corps · Rick Troy Balentine
2:26·144 bpm·7 versions
Drum CorpsCollege Band, College Cadences, Drum Core

The longest cue on the set at 2:26, a full-length 144 BPM marching cadence with snares, bass drums, tenors and cymbal accents, paced for a band moving the length of the field. The extra running time gives room for repeated street-beat sections and editing choices. Good for pregame procession footage or a long walk-out sequence.

Cleats On The Ground

2:22·144 bpm·7 versions
Drum CorpsCollege Band, College Cadences, Drum Core

Authentic drum corps groove at 144 BPM, all snare rolls, bass drum splits and cymbal crashes with no pitched instruments, so the emphasis stays on footwork and rhythm. Runs 2:21, mid-weight and relentless from first bar to last. Ideal for cleats hitting turf, locker-room exits and gear-up montages.

College Cadences

2:01·144 bpm·7 versions
Drum CorpsCollege Band, College Cadences, Drum Core

A tight two-minute textbook cadence at 144 BPM — snare line, bass drums and cymbals in classic college street-beat form. The plainest, most utilitarian cue here, which makes it the safest bed under narration or on-camera announcers. Cuts easily into any game-day or campus sequence.

Drum CorpsCollege Band, College Cadences, Drum Core

144 BPM drumline cadence with whistle calls signalling the band into position, built on snare rudiments, bass drums and cymbals. At 2:15 it has room for the drill to assemble and lock in. Fits overhead shots of formations, rehearsal footage and any scene about coordinated discipline.

End Zone Push

2:09·144 bpm·7 versions
Drum CorpsCollege Band, College Cadences, Drum Core

Hard-driving 144 BPM percussion cadence with snares, bass drums, cymbal crashes and whistle punctuation, aggressive in character and just over two minutes long. The title points at the final push, and the cue keeps the pressure on without letting up. Works for goal-line drama, faceoffs and last-second effort.

2:05·144 bpm·7 versions
Drum CorpsCollege Band, College Cadences, Drum Core

A 144 BPM drumline cadence with whistle hits, cut at a compact 2:05 with editors in mind — steady snare and bass drum patterns that can be trimmed or looped under fast-cut scrimmage footage. No melody, so voiceover and crowd sound sit clean above it. Best for practice, drills and behind-the-scenes cutdowns.

Steppin Across The Goal Line

2:10·144 bpm·7 versions
Drum CorpsCollege Band, College Cadences, Drum Core

Marching cadence at 144 BPM with a swaggering, celebratory feel — snare line, bass drums, cymbals and whistle over 2:09. Rhythm-only throughout, so it reads as triumph without tipping into fanfare. Suits touchdown celebrations, victory walks and school-spirit spots.

The 4th Quarter
STYE558 · Drum Corps · Rick Troy Balentine
2:04·144 bpm·7 versions
Drum CorpsCollege Band, College Cadences, Drum Core

Late-game intensity in a 144 BPM drum corps cadence: snares, bass drums, crash cymbals and whistle cues across a lean 2:04. Purely percussive and unbroken, giving a sense of endurance and mounting pressure. Cut it against the closing minutes of a game or any deadline sequence.

Back Field Motion
STYE558 · Drum Corps · Rick Troy Balentine
2:01·118 bpm·7 versions
Drum CorpsCollege Band, College Cadences, Drum Core

Slower marching tempo at 118 BPM, giving the snare line, bass drums, cymbals and whistle a heavier, more deliberate step than the faster cues on the album. Two minutes of pure rhythm with plenty of air between hits, which makes it unusually accommodating for narration. Good for slow-motion footage, field positioning and pre-game anticipation.

Full Ahead March
STYE558 · Drum Corps · Rick Troy Balentine
2:09·118 bpm·7 versions
Drum CorpsCollege Band, College Cadences, Drum Core

A straight-ahead 118 BPM parade march built on snare rudiments, bass drums, cymbals and whistle commands, steady and forward-leaning across 2:08. The measured tempo reads as ceremony and discipline rather than sprint-speed excitement. Suits processions, graduations and any sequence about moving as one.

Ten More Yards
STYE558 · Drum Corps · Rick Troy Balentine
2:10·118 bpm·6 versions
Drum CorpsCollege Band, College Cadences, Drum Core

118 BPM drumline cadence with snare, bass drums, cymbals and whistle, running 2:09 with a persistent, grinding pace that implies steady progress rather than a breakaway. Rhythm-only and free of melody, leaving it wide open for commentary. Works under grind-it-out training footage or incremental-progress storytelling.
