Percussion Ensemble

Colquitt County is very lucky and proud to offer a comprehensive percussion instruction from grade 6-12 with a dedicated percussion educator, Terrence James Bates. In grades 6-7, the percussion work in the classroom with all other band members and enjoy frequent small group instruction from Mr. Bates. Once in 8th grade, percussion typically will meet in a dedicated percussion ensemble class. All of this team teaching allows for percussion students to grow more in their discipline, while maintaining a performance opportunity with the full band as well.

The Percussion Ensemble performs with the concert ensembles on most performances, but will also enjoy a dedicated percussion concert that features their advancing skills at least once in the spring.
