The Tuscarora High School Instrumental Boosters has been hosting a KIDA competition since 2014. Every year we are very thankful for all of the volunteer support and thrilled by the performances from all of our participants!

The mission of the Keystone Indoor Drill Association (KIDA) is to to create an environment that fosters growth through performance of the marching arts. It is a competitive, educational indoor circuit with participation from units in Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, and the Washington DC metro area. The units compete in 5 disciplines; Percussion, Color Guard, Winds, Majorettes, and Dance Teams.

KIDA was formed in the interest of teaching the principles of good sportsmanship, fairness in all aspects, professionalism, and proper conduct under any and all prevailing conditions. KIDA creates an environment to achieve this by promoting better understanding among the units, good public relations, and above all, providing an atmosphere that is conducive to good clean competition.

While the KIDA is truly an educational endeavor, it also teaches each and every member to demonstrate pride in their unit, their school, the association, and our nation at all times.
