Marching Band Percussion Information
*There will be additional 9:00am-12:30pm Full Band Rehearsals through Summer; specific dates TBD.
Auditions are merely for part-assignments; there are no ‘cuts’ in our program. Any non-percussionists wishing to
join (guitar, bass, & piano) must contact Colin Constance directly to discuss opportunities for involvement. It is
important to understand there are many crucial roles to be filled in a successful marching percussion section, and
students are placed where they will have the greatest potential to see overall group achievement.

Indoor winter percussion marries the elements of music performance, marching, and theatre and is performed indoor in a basketball gymnasium setting. The BCHS Winter Percussion groups have been 11 time state champions, WGI National Finalists and have been selected to perform at the 2016 Music For All National Percussion Festival as one of the top 12 ensembles in the US. The Winter Percussion Ensemble is an audition group selected from our top instrumentalists in the program. Season begins in January and the ensemble competes through April. This group needs parent volunteers to drive students and instruments to and from all competitions.
Percussion Ensemble is an award winning ensemble and has another amazing opportunity to travel to Indianapolis in November 2019 to attend and compete at PASIC.
