University High School offers three levels of dedicated percussion study - Introductory, Intermediate, and Advanced - during the school day, providing our percussionists with individualized learning plans and both small group and one-on-one instruction. Our Percussion Ensembles perform throughout the year and have been featured at FBA District and State Solo & Ensemble and FMEA Music Educators' Conference, as well as the Sandy Feldstein National Percussion Festival in Indianapolis.
A two-time winner of the FMBC 4A "Best Percussion" award, the marching percussion section is an essential part of the University Marching Band. Comprised of both the on-field Drumline and versatile Front Ensemble (or "Pit"), our marching percussionists showcase a wide variety of musical styles and skills.
