Percussion

The Percussion class is focused on all aspects of percussion technique and playing.  Students will learn various skills on mallet instruments, snare drum, timpani, and all other concert percussion instruments.  Students in the Percussion class perform as part of the Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble but also through various percussion ensembles.

Ballard Percussionists consistently represent the Elliott Bay Region at the State Solo/Ensemble competition and have twice placed in the top 3 at this prestigious event.

All Members of the Percussion class also support the greater school community by performing as the Drumline for the award-winning Marching Band at football and basketball games and at parades throughout the Northwest.
