The Percussion League is proud to announce the official launch of our brand-new challenge series for the 2025–2026 season: Catch These Hands — a high-impact campaign designed to elevate skill, creativity, and community in the marching percussion world.
What Is “Catch These Hands”?
Taking inspiration from the bold phrase “catch these hands,” this campaign flips the script from street fight to stick fight — in the form of musical mastery.
Every 2–3 weeks, a featured artist or educator will release a short but challenging lick they've written and performed. It’s up to students and performers across the country to replicate it exactly — note for note, sticking for sticking, and visual for visual — and submit their version on Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube.
Visit our Instagram or Facebook to see the new challenge every 2 weeks, starting with our first one TODAY!
Follow along with the hashtag #CatchTheseHands
How It Works
Watch the challenge video from our guest artist.
Recreate the lick exactly — including stickings, accents, musicality, and visuals.
Post your performance to Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube.
Tag & Follow both the guest artist and @ThePercussionLeague.
The artist will select one winner from all correct entries. The chosen player receives a custom prize pack announced for each round.
Prizes & Recognition
Winners of each challenge will receive exclusive gear bundles, accessories, and more — all curated to support your growth and performance. Some prizes may even include one-of-a-kind artist gear or signed items.
Every correct performance is a chance to shine and earn your spot in the national spotlight.
