All students that have an interest in performing with our percussion section can do so. Many students with no prior band class experience have become great performers in our percussion section in the past. Tryouts for positions are generally held in April/May before the end of the school year.

The THS percussion section is divided into two sub-sections:
Both groups focus on playing musically while using appropriate instrumental techniques. |

FRONT ENSEMBLE
Consists of instruments that perform on the front sideline of the field during halftime. These instruments are marimba, xylophone, vibraphone, electric keyboard/piano, bass guitar, and includes other types of percussion instruments as needed.
DRUM LINE
Consists of standard marching percussion instruments: snare drum, tenor drums (quints), bass drums, and crash cymbals. Students that wish to tryout for the drum line should be able to demonstrate basic drumming technique. Crash cymbals players are usually only assigned when the other drum line spots are filled.
