At NVSHS, percussionists play an essential role across multiple ensembles including Concert Band, Symphonic Band, Stage Band and Brass Band. Percussion Ensemble is an additional performance opportunity, providing students with dedicated time to further develop their craft. Participation is optional and offered alongside their core ensemble commitments.
This ensemble allows percussionists to explore more complex, engaging and technically demanding repertoire. From powerful Taiko drumming to intricate tuned and mallet percussion works, students refine rhythm, coordination, ensemble precision and stage presence.
Using the full breadth of percussion instruments available at NVSHS, Percussion Ensemble provides a platform for students to challenge themselves musically and truly shine as specialist performers.
