Winter Percussion Ensemble (WPE)

This group is an extracurricular ensemble that competes in Indiana Percussion Association (IPA) and WGI competitions as well as other related events.

 

Students will learn and perform a show that is custom written just for the members of the group. This group is a 3 time state champion ensemble and has placed in National Finals on several occasions. Participants in winter percussion also represent the band and guard program in many other ensembles throughout the school year.

 

Participation in this group costs extra (fundraising is required). Members are expected to devote significant outside time to mastering their instrument and music, as this ensemble performs at a highly advanced level.
