2026 Show Announcement!
Rex Putnam Indoor Percussion has competed on the NWAPA and WGI circuits since 2016. We are proud to move up to Open Class Scholastic this year with our new 2026 show, BLINK.
The show explores moving in darkness and blindness, exploring awareness, and appreciating the moment. This show is thoughtful,
dark, and beautiful—don't blink, or you'll miss it!
Check out the BLINK 2026 season schedule here.
Who We Are
Rex Putnam Indoor Percussion (the Kingsmen Thunder Drumline) is an award winning competitive indoor percussion ensemble based in Milwaukie, Oregon, participating in events hosted locally by the Northwest Association for Performing Arts (NWAPA)
and nationally by Winter Guard International (WGI) Sport of the Arts.
The drumline performs in the community and regionally throughout Oregon and southern Washington at public performances, parades, fundraisers, sporting events, rallies, and more. Their interactive workshops and school visits bring culturally rich programming to underserved neighborhoods, inspire local youth, and promote music education.
The Rex Putnam Indoor Percussion program is open to middle and high school students in the North Clackamas School District
and is supported by the Rex Putnam Music Boosters, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
