Percussion
Our percussionists are a key element of our Marching Band. Within our percussion section, we have a front ensemble (known as the front line) which includes all of our non-marching instruments such as marimba, vibraphone, chimes, timpani and you never know what else (brake drums ...), and our battery, which include marching bass drums, snares, and tenors. Percussion has dedicated instructors during camp to focus on developing technique and the endurance required.
Usually the first members on the practice field and the last ones off, our percussion section sets a high standard for the entire band.
Our percussionists also may choose to participate in an Indoor Percussion program after the marching season has ended that develops and competes indoors in the early spring.
