Don't Settle For Your Present Level of Achievement
The 2019 - 2020 indoor percussion ensemble will perform and compete in the concert class. Students will also be able to improve their drumline (battery skills) in a technique class. 

Battery Tech Class

​A battery technique class will be offered on Monday nights beginning 12/16/19 for interested Middle School & High School students. Students do not need to be enrolled in band to take this class. Students will learn how to march, play and perform. This is an opportunity for students who would like to be in next fall’s battery to start their training. There will be a fee of $50 per participant payable to “KPMA” to offset sticks, heads and instruction.
