Winter Percussion
Program Objective
The OFHS Indoor Percussion Ensemble provides an opportunity for all students to develop their musical, marching, and life skills through the art of percussion performance. We hope to instill a strong sense of perseverance, dedication, personal achievement, growth, self-confidence, music appreciation, and a strong work ethic through the pursuit of a high level of music performance in a group setting.
What is Winter Percussion?
Over the period of approx. 4 months, your child will be given basic to advanced instruction in the area of percussion. This includes the proper techniques involved to play the various instruments and marching techniques. This training will be expanded into a 5 to 6 minute production, including music and motion, performed on an indoor mat.
Our Indoor Units compete in a circuit, similar to a league in sports. While each circuit makes its own rules, and has it's own judges, they usually conform to those rules set by Winter Guard International (WGI). The circuit in which we are primarily participating, is the Florida Federation of Colorguards Circuit (FFCC). FFCC holds many competitions, or "events" across the state of Florida. At the end of each season, FFCC holds a championship in Daytona which will be the conclusion of our competitive season. https://ffcc.orgÂ
