Percussion Ensemble
Rehearse weekly on Sundays
The Percussion Ensemble consists of intermediate to advanced percussionists from all around Central Illinois. Repertoire includes arrangements of famous pieces of music, as well as music composed specifically for a percussion ensemble. Percussionists can explore music together on a wide array of instruments, including one of our several xylophones and marimbas, various sizes of drums, and our huge collection of toy percussion. Students have also played on buckets and stools in the past, providing an interesting learning experience for students and an interesting listening experience for audience members.
