Denver, CO — In the pulsating heart of Ball Arena, where the Denver Nuggets games come alive, the Skyline Drumline steals the show with their infectious beats and dynamic performances. As a seasoned spectator of various Denver sporting events, including playoff clashes, preseason matches, exhilarating victories, and humbling defeats, I’ve witnessed the action from every conceivable vantage point – from the nosebleeds to luxurious boxes, front-row seats, and the spirited south stands of the old Mile High Stadium.

Yet, when it comes to getting the most bang for your buck, Denver Nuggets games stand out. The proximity of the colossal scoreboard, the booming music that reverberates through the seats, and the palpable vibrations create an immersive experience. Even in the upper echelons of the third level, encounters with Rocky the mascot and the chance to snag a T-shirt during halftime add to the thrill.

For an extra dose of entertainment, keep an eye out for the Skyline Drumline. Comprising 20 to 40 skilled percussionists who roll out rhythmic renditions of popular songs and stadium anthems, the drumline makes its presence felt outside Ball Arena before and after games – regardless of the weather – as well as on the arena floor during breaks, in the concourse, and from their designated spot in section 216.

The drumline’s electrifying performances, whether on the escalator ascent or during breaks, infuse spectators with the game’s energy, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. While the members may blend in with regular fans in appearance, they are, in fact, a meticulously choreographed team managed by Kroenke Sports, the owner of both the team and the arena. Having undergone auditions, the group, established around 2015, has expanded its repertoire to include coverage of Colorado Avalanche hockey games under the name Celly Squad.

The skill and precision displayed by the Skyline Drumline are nothing short of impressive. These musicians, who not only possess rhythm but can also dance, smile, converse, toss drumsticks, and play percussion simultaneously, captivate the audience amid the sea of thousands of fans.
