    • Indoor Percussion

    • Please submit membership fees if you have not already done so. Thank you for your support!
    • Ear Protection: All students participating in Indoor Percussion are asked to use ear protection during all rehearsals. Linked here is a brand highly recommended by the directors, (but anything is better than nothing)! This is a very loud activity, and it is important to always wear ear plugs to protect yourself.
    • Please make sure your calendars are marked for our Drum-a-Thon on Friday, February 3rd. This is very similar to Rock-a-Thon, and will be an 8pm-8am event. More info to come soon!
