PERCUSSION CLASS

This class is available for all types of percussionists: mallet, cymbals, tri-toms, tympani, snare and bass drum. The group will rehearse music arranged specifically for percussion, perform for the public with concert groups and may enter solo and ensemble competition.

Students should be able to demonstrate proficiency on percussion instruments to earn teacher approval to enroll.

The percussionists will be divided into two groups creating the Basketball Pep Band and each band will perform at half of the games.

WIND ENSEMBLE

Students selected for the Wind Ensemble will need to demonstrate a high degree of proficiency on a selected instrument, be able to perform concert scales from memory, demonstrate competent mastery of range, tone, and sight reading, and perform a prepared solo.

The Wind Ensemble members will rehearse a variety of musical styles and play music comparable to selections on the state high school lists of fhsd.academics required pieces.
