2018 Nease Indoor Informational Meeting Wednesday, November 1st

What is Indoor Percussion There are two levels of classification: Independent and Scholastic. Independent groups are self-organized and funded, sometimes they are an extension of a college program. Scholastic ensembles are programs that compete on behalf of their school. For both Independent and Scholastic classes, WGI offers competitive divisions of A Class, Open Class and World Class. This will allow ensembles to compete and be compared with other groups at a similar skill level.

Nease Indoor Philosophy The Nease Indoor Percussion Ensemble is an extra- curricular activity that serves as an extension to the marching band. The students will have opportunities to extend their skill sets that will holistically benefit the Nease Band Program. Character, class, maturity, and professionalism that will be taught and displayed by all members and staff.
