The 8th annual Night of Percussion show will take place on Saturday, Feb. 9 at 7. The theme is “My Favorite Things,” and will feature performances from every percussion section. Here are a few reasons you should attend the show.
- It’s free! It’s a night to enjoy performances from the percussion section without having to worry about cost.
- Every school level is featured, from the elementary handbell choir to the high school drumline.
- It will feature non-traditional percussion ensembles, such as the boomwhacker piece, where percussionists dress up and play music on a PVC pipe.
- There will be many genres of music, from classic ensembles to a steel drum arrangement of “Africa” by Toto.
- It’s something (free) to do on a Saturday night.
- The seniors will all have solo pieces and will be recognized for their years in the program.
- It’s a chance for the percussionists to come to the front of the stage, something they don’t normally get to do.
- There will be a massive finale piece, and you’ll only get to know what it is if you go.
