Percussion home show a hit!

Students playing snare drums, bass drums and cymbals march in formation

The ÉðÊ¿Âþ»­ Indoor Percussion Ensemble’s Home Show last Saturday was smashing!

Ensembles from seven high schools competed against each other, and the University at ÉðÊ¿Âþ»­ Winter Guard and Pep Band also performed.

The ÉðÊ¿Âþ»­ High varsity team’s competition performance – “The Heist” – involved an assigned mission to steal an emerald frog from a highly secure museum. The Falcon JV team also had an exhibition performance. Congrats to the varsity team for earning first place in the Percussion Independent A category!

The day ended with a spotlight on seven ÉðÊ¿Âþ»­ High seniors in the ÉðÊ¿Âþ»­ Indoor Percussion Ensemble who graduate this June. Two ÉðÊ¿Âþ»­ High seniors that performed with the UÉðÊ¿Âþ»­ Winter Guard also were recognized earlier in the show.
