Percussion Ensemble
A percussion ensemble is an ensemble designed to provide students with varying levels of playing experience with quality literature of varying styles as well as a solid foundation in the world of percussion by audition only. The ensemble consists of only percussion instruments. Although the term can be used to describe any such group, it commonly refers to groups of percussionists performing primarily classical music. The Percussion Ensemble performs in concert twice per concert season at the IRHS Auditorium. Additionally, members of the Percussion Ensemble are available to perform at community events. Students who comprise the Percussion Ensemble also serve as the percussionists for the Indian River High School Symphonic and Concert Band, and participate in all aspects of those ensembles. The IRHS Percussion Ensemble strives yearly to continue the tradition of fine percussionists at Indian River High School.
