Powerhouse in the Mountains: Western Carolina University
PERCUSSIVE NOTES JUNE 2020 7
Those who actively peruse YouTube
for drumline videos have probably
encountered the incredible achieve-
ments of the Western Carolina Uni-
versity percussion section. After be-
ing duly impressed, some might ask,
“Where in the world is WCU?” and
“How do they have this type of pro-
gram?” Many would be surprised at
the answers. Located in Cullowhee,
North Carolina (nestled between
Georgia, South Carolina, and Ten-
nessee in the Smoky Mountains), it
is a small public university with just
over 10,000 undergraduate students.
The answer to that first question is
relatively easy, so I set out to discov-
er the answer to the second, bigger
question.
Matt Henley is Assistant Director
of Athletic Bands at Western Caroli-
na University, which includes assist-
ing with the Sudler Trophy-winning
Pride of the Mountains marching
band, the Cathouse Pep Band, and
all events that the organization hosts
year-round. One of his primary du-
ties is overseeing the 80+ students in
the marching percussion program at
WCU, which includes teaching and
arranging for both Gold and Purple
drumlines in the fall, as well as the
Purple Thunder basketball drumline
in the spring semester. Having earned
both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in
music from Western Carolina University,
Matt was in a unique position to contin-
ue his involvement with the band pro-
gram in an official capacity, and he hasn’t
looked back since.
PN: What is your teaching philosophy
in regards to the marching percussion
section?
Henley: I feel that as a teacher it is my
responsibility to set the group up for
success through a consistent, orga-
nized, prepared, and positive approach.
Essentially, it is my job to create an en-
vironment for the students to thrive.
Through specific accountability of each
player, their individual success will
spread to the entire group, thus making
the ensemble reach new heights every
year. It might be my age, but I have cu-
riously become more cognizant of the
overreaching life lessons being taught
within the percussion program and the
entire band. I see so many graduates
moving on to develop their own goals
and belief systems that, hopefully, be-
gan with a firm foundation laid during
their time at WCU.
PN: When did you take over as instruc-
tor?
Henley: When I was a senior in college
at WCU in the summer of 1991, I had
completed my “quota” for marching
band and was more focused on teach-
ing, writing, gigging, etc. One day I was
teaching a local high school band camp
and was approached by a local band
director, Bob Buckner. He told me that
he was offered the Directorship of the
WCU athletic band program, but that
he would not take the job if I didn’t
teach the drumline. I was shocked! Af-
ter much deliberation and soul search-
ing, I agreed. That fall of 1991 was my
first “drumline” at WCU, and we barely
had enough students to fill out the line.
It was comprised of a couple of music
majors, piano majors, girlfriends—you
get the idea—4 snares, 1 quad, 4 bass-
es, 2 cymbals, and no front ensemble. It
was very, very raw, but it was a begin-
ning. The first thing I said to the group
on the first day of camp was, “Pick up
an instrument that you think you
would like to play, and we will start
there.”
PN: The band program was pretty small
at that point, correct? How did that im-
pact your focus in the early years?
Henley: In 1991 there were 88 total band
members, which included an 18-mem-
ber dance team and no color guard.
Bob Buckner was very smart in his
early assessment of the group; there
wasn’t a lot of “tradition” in the band
at that time, so he decided to make
marching band more of a lab for future
music educators. That is when we went
to a “one show per year” model, to bet-
ter simulate what they would encoun-
ter in their jobs. Combine this idea with
a new structure to our Student Lead-
ership Team and you have yourself
the foundation that we began to build
upon.
PN: Were there any “experiments” you
tried early on that didn’t work like you
envisioned? If so, how do you recover
from those and continue to grow?
Henley: Luckily, there weren’t too many
major catastrophes early on. I remem-
ber thinking that to hide our lack of tal-
ent within those early years, I should
be “gimmicky” with my approach; if I
used huge percussion props, toms, etc.,
then we could camouflage those short-
comings. That was not the thing to do!
When I finally figured that out in the
late 1990s, things really began to take
off. Our focus was now centered on
technique and execution of a book that
was “doable” by us. That new mindset
really helped propel us into the early
2000s, and we started gaining more
respect as a marching percussion pro-
gram.
PN: How does the university administra-
tion feel about a band program of over
500 with a relatively small student
body? Has this changed through the
years?
Henley: Our administration is very sup-
portive of the ensemble. Through a re-
cent student survey, we found out that
the marching band is the number-one
“site destination program” across all dis-
ciplines on campus—meaning more stu-
dents come to Western Carolina for its
marching band than any other reason.
We are honored by that, and we feel a
great duty to not only give our students
a world-class experience, but to also be
a strong ambassador for our university
that will make our administration, stu-
dent body, and community proud. Last
season we had every academic major
at WCU represented within the band,
8 PERCUSSIVE NOTES JUNE 2020
and I believe that our administration
sees and realizes the more global reach
that the band and music can have at
our school.
PN: Talk about recruiting strategies that
have led to this point, by yourself, Bob
Buckner (previous director), and David
Starnes (current Director).
Henley: A multi-faceted approach to re-
cruiting has always been our focus.
Events and performances staggered
throughout the calendar year seem to
have a better result than just “seasonal”
ones, as we try to keep the band pro-
gram active and “in the public eye” con-
sistently. Through district bands, sum-
mer camps, day skill camps, auditions,
the marching band contest we host, ex-
hibition performances, basketball pep
band, basketball drumline, and social
media, we are consistently sending out
our message. All of that to say though,
the number-one recruiter for any pro-
gram is quality. Great high school band
students know when something is
good and when it’s not. If you put qual-
ity, approachable, inviting, fun, stim-
ulating, impressive performances out
there, you will attract talented students
who want to be a part of it.
PN: Was there a specific year that you no-
ticed a definite positive change in the
“The Pride of the Mountains march-
ing band has been incredibly blessed
with talented performers who chose
to become members of our program.
In the last 10 years we have experi-
enced steady membership growth
and talent across the marching band,
which peaked in 2019 with an incred-
ible 535 members in the program. As
a music educator with a percussion
background, I am grateful for the
talent and training our battery and
front ensemble percussionists con-
tribute to the band program. From
a recruitment aspect of things, it is
exciting to know that high school
percussionists look to the Pride of
the Mountains percussion program
as a collegiate destination to display
their talents. As a team of directors
and motivated students, annual pro-
gramming becomes a ‘sky is the lim-
it’ project. The perfect mix of what
is possible, what they as performing
ensemble would embrace, as well as
creating a challenge for them (while
being entertaining) is never an easy
task. With that said, our member-
ship looks forward to that challenge
each year and will do all they can to
continue to raise the bar for our band
program.”
—David Starnes, Director of Athletic
Bands, WCU.
group, either in numbers, quality, or
attitudes, or has it always been a slow,
steady climb?
Henley: Having done it as long as I have,
the answer is yes. However, I don’t want
to diminish other years by pointing out
specific ones, because to me it has been
a remarkable steady climb. Inevitably,
you are going to see certain peaks that
you hit along the way every four to five
years. These are usually built on bigger
program goals that we set in our office.
Every year there has been growth and
remarkable performances, and I have
loved them all!
PN: Amazingly, Western has two drum-
lines. Describe how this came about
and how you make this work in the
band program—rehearsals, game day,
exhibitions, etc.
Henley: Yes, this is pretty crazy; I get asked
about this topic a lot. In 2009 I was host-
ing our initial audition date, and for the
first time in program history, I couldn’t
find a place for everyone. There were
about 12 students who were going to
be cut, and it broke my heart. It went
against everything that I believed in as
an educator. So I went to Bob Buckner
with a proposal: we had just bought
new drums, and if I could use the old
equipment I could create a second
drumline as our “JV” group. It would be

a teaching tool, and a motivator for stu-
dents who weren’t quite ready for the
top drumline experience. We affection-
ately refer to them as “Purple Thunder,”
while our top group is the Gold Line. At
the time I was lucky to have a section
leader living in the area who had just
graduated. Austin Sanders [currently
teaching at JF Byrnes High School] was
eager to get on board as the instructor,
and away we went. The Gold Line fo-
cuses on their role with marching band
performances, while Purple Thunder
has their own warm-ups, stands beats,
parking lot shows, the “3rd Quarter
Throwdown” performance at football
games, parades, and special communi-
ty events. It really has helped to trans-
form many players who have come
through the program, and has allowed
them to receive necessary training and
experiences to achieve their larger goal
of being on the Gold Line. Through
the years we have had several Purple
“Having the opportunity to work
with a college drumline, let alone
WCU’s second drumline, was an
amazing way to gain perspective on
the activity at a collegiate level, and
what it takes to build a group from
the ground up. When I first came in to
teach Purple Thunder, I was commit-
ted to building an inviting, yet more
competitive environment for stu-
dents who wanted the chance to im-
prove their skills. The standards were
raised, and the group progressed in
technique, performance quality, play-
ing ability, and leadership—as did the
overall culture. Requests started com-
ing in from different programs in the
university and county to have them
come perform at events, so it was ex-
citing to witness that growth. I am
grateful to have worked with Matt as
well, and for him giving me the op-
portunity to invest in the group.”

Thunder instructors, but it looks like I
will be teaching both units this fall. It is
completely exhausting, but well worth
the educational experience that these
students are getting! The drumline has
grown to where now we simply cannot
take every person who auditions, but
it has allowed for us to make member-
ship in both groups more competitive,
which makes all of us better.
PN: Describe the audition process and
what you look for in potential mem-
bers.
Henley: We have two audition days: one
in May, which is a high school clinic as
well, and another in June. Everyone
auditions for the top group at the first
date; we then take a snapshot of where
we are, pass out the Purple Thunder
music, and students then have a month
to decide how to focus or refocus their
efforts. We return in June and make fi-
nal decisions about instrument assign-
ments.
In terms of what we want in poten-
tial members, we look for two main as-
pects. Obviously, their talent level and
10 PERCUSSIVE NOTES JUNE 2020
skill set should be high enough. More
importantly, however, is how they’ve
prepared for the auditions in advance.
This tells me everything about their
work ethic, which in turn will bleed
over into the season; their preparation
and how they respect the process will
contribute to our success.
PN: How much do you lean on staff
throughout the season? Do they do any
arranging? When were you first able to
bring some help onboard and in what
capacity?
Henley: People are usually shocked
when they find out how small our
percussion staff actually is. From 1991
through 2004 I wrote for and taught
the drumline, the front ensemble, and
the rhythm section. In 2005, Jon Hen-
son began teaching the front as a grad-
uate student while I continued to write
for everything. When Jon was hired
as a third director in 2007, he contin-
ued to teach the front and rhythm
section, and he assumed the writing
responsibility for those groups. I have
always taught and written for the top
drumline, but in 2009 when our second
drumline began, the instructor of that
group wrote their exercises while I con-
tributed occasionally. The only exter-
nal percussion staff that we have had
“One of the unique aspects of our per-
cussion section is the use of a rhythm
section on the field as it adds a unique
opportunity—with the combination
of electronics in the front ensem-
ble—to recreate some of the musical
content of our song selections. It also
allows for non-traditional marching
band students to get the opportunity
to perform with us. Not only does the
band serve as a laboratory for our per-
formers and future music educators,
but our large use of electronics and
sound reinforcement gives students
in our Commercial Music and Audio
Production program a place to get
real hands-on training in their field.
The combination of live performers
working with sound engineers cre-
ates a great learning environment for
all the students.”

rhythm section coordinator.
is the Purple Drumline instructor, and
one part-time bass drum tech the past
few years, Taylor Barnes. All other in-
struction has been done by our Section
Teaching Assistants [section leaders].
PN: Describe how the “rhythm section”
started and its evolution and contribu-
tions to the ensemble.
Henley: In the mid-1990s the idea of turn-
ing pop tunes into marching/DCI-type
charts was gaining momentum. The
melodies satisfied our football crowd,
but the drive, intensity, and difficulty
of the visual and music inspired our
students; it was a win/win, and add-
ing a rhythm section just made sense
to push this concept. Eventually we
moved them onto the field for blend
and pulse center purposes, but that
“sound” helped us to approach arrange-
ments in very different ways and also
encouraged us to take risks through the
use of electronics that other peer insti-
tutions simply could not do. It gave us a
strong identity and has helped to mold
our personality as an ensemble.
PN: Do have a specific writing process?
Not only for wind charts but percus-
sion features?
Henley: I have my own personal general-
ization of battery writing. I tend to cat-
egorize phrases or moments into three
basic ideas: groove-based writing, me-
lodic writing, or impact writing. Most
of the time the arranging process falls
under one of these categories. There-
fore, I ask myself, “What does the music
need? What do the wind players need
to be successful?” Sometimes it needs
a stylized groove that makes the ar-
rangement feel good, sometimes I can
explore more melodic/tonal ideas in
a contemporary style, and sometimes
the moment is for impact; for those
moments I can go into a more gutsy
rhythmic and dense condition that has
flow, with the idea of tension and re-
lease always in the back of my mind. I
don’t necessarily start with a particular
instrument every time; I try to let the
music tell me where to go first.
Each instrument has its own char-
acteristics: tone, timbre, articulation,
implement possibilities, projection, etc.
It just makes sense to take all of these
things into account when writing a
chart. There really is a choir of sopra-
no, tenor, bass, with cymbals painting

the color to the musical canvas. I have
branched out many times before, but it
is most common for me to focus on their
roles within the arrangement based on
these inherent natural musical traits of
the instruments.
PN: Do you ever depend on students to
come up with new ideas? If so, please
give some examples.
Henley: Yes! We start every spring with
a meeting of our new STAs [section
leaders], and we discuss the exercise
program for the fall—what should stay,
what should go, what we need—and
they inevitably want to contribute to
some part of it. Currently, our leaders
are collaborating on an exercise togeth-
er while I help to steer that ship. It’s
great fun to be able to discuss the ped-
agogy behind the piece, what our goals
are with it, and for them to have some
creative license and share their musical
voice. I love it! Another area where stu-
dents have input is usually the section
“licks” within the drum feature. Many
times, the STAs will get together with
their friends to write them together. I
give them a framework, and they make
it happen. Sometimes it’s questionable,
but most of the time it is some really
creative and challenging stuff!
PN: Talk a little about WCU’s 2019 pro-
duction and how that came about.
Henley: Many of the charts that we write
have a basis within a bigger idea, and
nothing could be more true of that
than this past season’s percussion fea-
ture. The entire production was titled
“Believe,” and it was built around that
word emblazoned on the side of the
Macy’s Department Store in New York
City. Our band was headed to march in
the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade,
and we thought it would be cool to
build the show around that idea. Each
part of the show was then built around
this idea:
• Part 1 – Believe in Me (Believe in your-
self and believe in your own potential)
• Part 2 – Believe in You (Believe in the
friend beside you and help them succeed)
• Part 3 – Believe in Us (Believe in the
power of US and what we can accomplish
together)
• Part 4 – Believe in Miracles (Because
when you believe in yourself, believe in
those around you, and believe in the pow-
er of doing great things together, then you
can certainly believe that miracles are go-
ing to happen in your life)
Part 3 was the percussion feature, and
the words really spoke to me. I was pe-
rusing the internet one day and saw
an amazing video by B.C. Manjunath.
It suddenly hit me: what if we were to
collaborate with him and write some-
thing together? US—the power of us
coming together. From Bangladore,
India all the way to Cullowhee, North
Carolina, could we cooperate to achieve
something greater together? So, I hunt-
ed him down through social media and
we started a conversation. I was really
taken back by how humble, kind, and
genuine he was. The idea was very ex-
citing to both of us, but we really didn’t
know where to start.
Eventually, Jon Henson and I began
12 PERCUSSIVE NOTES JUNE 2020
tracking down South Indian inspired
musical ideas and just brainstorming
about what some of the phrases might
look like. From there, I wrote down
a one-line schematic of the chart by
measure number. I went through each
phrase and identified what I would
compose and what Manju would
write. Once finished, I wrote my parts
and took this skeleton score to him,
and with those parameters he began
to compose his portions. I then went
back and wrote to his ideas, and he
wrote to my ideas. It was truly a col-
laboration in every sense of the word.
After the rhythmic ideas were laid, we
were able to go back and make a more
solid harmonic and melodic palette in
which to reside. It was a bit backward
from the normal way of arranging for
marching band—rhythm first, instead
of melody first—but it worked.
The power of US certainly came
shining through, and I believe that
our students really benefited from the
experience. It was one of the coolest
compositional adventures of my life-
time.
“I was super thrilled when Mr. Matt
Henley reached out to me to perform
for one of the Western Carolina Uni-
versity Band’s challenging pieces. It
was indeed an amazing experience
to record both audio and video, one
of highlights for me from last year.
When Mr. Henley shared one of the
clips from a performance, I felt very
thankful when I heard the large
crowd cheering the part that I was in-
volved. My sincere gratitude.”
