2. Tickets to the 2017 WGI World Championships

Come Christmas moring, you might get a wide range of tickets from day passes to VIP style tickets that get you access to every show you could possibly want to see. Not sure what you'd be getting yourself into, see what WGI is right here.
3. New King Sabre from Fred J. Miller
So what other activity to you get to ask for a "sword-like" piece of metal that you're intentions are to throw it in the air rotating 3-4-5-6 times per toss? Got to love color guard.
4. Custom digitally printed tarp from Winter Guard Tarps
Another amazing feature of the indoor season is the unbelievably beautiful designs that are seen throughout the Spring when guards, drumlines, and wind ensembles unveils their floors for the first time. Why not have a brand new one for this Christmas? Let's see Santa Claus come through the chimney with a floor.
5. Favorite pair of sticks from Lonestar Percussion
Every drummer has their favorite pair. Whether its Innovative, Vic Firth, or Vader, there are just too many to choose from. So why not just hook your favorite drummer up with a gift card to Lonestar Percussion so they can shop for their favorites.
6. Zildjian L80 Low Volume Cymbals
For those kit players who are gearing up for the indoor season and need to get some practice in over the holidays without killing your hearing or getting killed by your parents. Check out these cymbals from Zildjian.
7. Remo Silentstroke drum heads
To go right along with the Zildjian L80 Low Volume cymbals above are the Remo Silentstroke heads. Amazing response but so much easier on the hearing and neighbors.
8. Yamaha Silent Brass
For the brass players out there getting ready for the WGI Winds season we have you covered as well. It's not like every home has a practice room with insulated sound reduction walls. So Yamaha came up with a unique way to mute without changing the sounds you need to hear to get better.
9. New rifle from Bandshoppe.com
Ok so you've been practicing so much that the leather strap has been taped and re-taped again. The plastic top is held on by a combination of screws and glue. And the but of the rifle no longer looks squared off but like a oval shape. Yeah...time for a new rifle. Then it's back to practice.
10. 5-octave rosewood marimba from Marimba One
There's just something beautiful about the sound, the look, and the musicality that can come from a Marimba One instrument. Just tell the folks you'll learn Silent Night and play it for them at the family Christmas dinner.
