Percussion

Directors are Scott Baldwin and Emily Magee.

​

The Reedy Percussion section is open to all percussionists (and select double reeds in the fall) who have successfully participated in a middle school band program. The members of Reedy Percussion focus on the Reedy Band Competition show, along with All-State music in the fall semester. The Reedy Percussion Section participates at all events as part of the Reedy Marching Band, as well as regional drumline competitions.

​

During the spring semester, the Reedy Percussion students perform solos at the UIL Solo Ensemble Contest and will audition for placement in UIL performing groups.

​

In addition, the Reedy Percussion Ensemble presents its annual concert, “Rhythmic Configurations” during the Spring semester, featuring students from Pearson and Pioneer Heritage Middle Schools., as well as many Guest Artists. 

​

The percussion class is “double blocked” for all percussion students in the first semester.  During the second semester, students will be enrolled in the percussion class for a “single-block” and an ability-based band class for a “single-block”.
