The Minnesota Percussion Association is the organization that runs Minnesota's indoor percussion circuit.

Members and Classifications
MPA follows the Winter Guard International classification system. Groups are classified as "scholastic" if they are affiliated with a school, or "independent" if the group has no academic affiliation. The "scholastic" designation is often assumed, so a line that identifies as being "A class" is typically in the "scholastic A" class. From there, groups are classified as either "A," "Open," or "World" based on how difficult their show is and how well they execute their show.

As with WGI, MPA uses the "concert" class for member groups that do not march and instead perform as a more traditional percussion ensemble.

Prior to 2003, member drumlines were classified as "A," "AA," or "AAA."

The current member drumlines are:
