The Ball State Percussion Group helps students develop sight reading skills, learn how to perform with others, maintain and set up equipment, and learn how to play many of the smaller percussion instruments while gaining invaluable performance experience.
The group has between 10 and 12 students, and placement is by audition during the large ensemble auditions in the fall semester. Students often perform without a conductor and are encouraged to rehearse on their own. The ensemble performs at least two concerts per year, one in the fall and one in the spring.
