Indoor percussion is a unique activity combining many of the best elements of a music program such as jazz, symphonic, marching band, theater production, stage musicals, and a sports team. These multiple influences combine to create a unique performing arts experience. Thus, indoor percussion is a blend of various co-curricular and extra-curricular activities that produces what we call “The Sport of the Arts.”
An indoor percussion program is not only educationally sound but can also have a dramatic and positive influence on the marching band program. In our situation, the percussion ensemble will be an extra-curricular activity (with a prerequisite of being enrolled in a marching band class) that offers participation to everyone. We will have multiple main goals that we will look to achieve every season.
