I'm interested in playing percussion, what do I do?
If you are interested in auditioning for percussion, there is a separate audition to do so. There is NO prior experience or supplies required for students to audition. The percussion audition tests such things as natural rhythm, coordination, pulse, and dexterity. Students with piano experience are definitely encouraged to audition but that is not a requirement. Percussion is a collection of instruments including drums, mallet instruments (xylophones, marimbas, etc.) and accessory instruments (tambourines, triangles, etc.). Prospective percussionists should be eager to play music, interested in learning, have good math skills, and a desire to be in band
Percussion tryouts are March 29 at Byron Nelson High School.
