Ridgeline Percussion CLASS
Ridgeline Percussion CLASS
The Ridgeline HS Percussion Ensemble is one of our most dynamic groups at RHS. It is open to all interested 9th - 12th grade students, and has a week long placement process to place students on the most appropriate instrument assignments for each semester. The Ridgeline Percussion Ensemble will represent the highest level of excellence in our pursuit of percussion performance, which includes the both concert bands and any necessary orchestra performances. Students are focused on developing the use of their musical language to play with the bands and to step out and experience playing unique percussion compositions. Students will pursue the most exciting literature of the traditional and contemporary repertoire.
We will share our music at various concerts throughout the year, including five campus concerts, local/regional festivals and competitions, and numerous other outreach opportunities for students to perform. Percussion during 1st semester has a prerequisite for students to also register for the marching band activity. Anyone can join percussion during 2nd semester with no prerequisite.
We will certainly enrich this page with more details as our school year develops. This is going to be a fantastic music-making opportunity for all Falcons to feel welcome in and to create a new, and exciting community. Welcome to Ridgeline HS Percussion!

1st Semester class has a prerequisite for ALL members to register for Marching Band.
Percussion students may not enroll in a concert band class. This course is designed specifically to get percussion students much more specific training so they can fulfill the responsibilities of high school repertoire. They will perform with bands, but not in class. This is unique from the middle school experience.
