2000 Percussion

2000 Percussion SeasonThis year Marian Catholic High School takes another leap toward strengthening its percussion program. The Percussion Ensemble held its first-ever concert in front of a packed crowd in the school's auditorium. The ensemble performed music that provided them with a different style than the music they perform in the marching and concert bands. The music they performed was challenging, and yet extremely entertaining. The ensembles are open to all percussionists at Marian, providing the students with a great opportunity to grow musically.
