Program Story

Rhythm, color, and ensemble leadership

The high school percussion ensemble gives students a dedicated space to grow as chamber musicians while also strengthening the full band percussion section.

Students perform throughout the year, including Sweet Jazz and winter and spring concerts, and have represented Beechwood successfully at Tri-State events.
