Being a percussionist requires performance on many instruments and requires someone who is able to manage time well. There will also be a short rhythm test with the Head of Music before being assigned to the percussion section. As a result of the multiple instruments, the student must practice twice as much as all other band members. Would your child be willing to put in the extra work required to be successful as a percussionist? The Head of Music will schedule a face to face or virtual try out for this instrument.

Yes
