Now that the Holidays are behind us, the Winter Percussion continues to practice as they prepare for a new season. Per wgi.org, Winter Percussion is defined as “An indoor percussion ensemble or indoor drumline consists of the marching percussion (also called battery) and front ensemble (also called pit) sections of a marching band or drum corps. Indoor percussion marries elements of music performance, marching, and theater; thus, the activity is often referred to as percussion theater.” Our 28 members will be Concert Percussion this year; consisting of pit instruments. The members will be playing vibraphone, marimbas, and electronic instruments, along with a drumset, plus other instruments used in the front ensemble. Their first competition is set for Saturday, February 5, at New Palestine HS.
