Percussion Ensemble

Percussionists:
After attending the orientation trip to Indianapolis this past weekend, I have decided to consolidate the Music for All program to 5 pieces. I think that it is more important to play everything really well than to overextend ourselves. Plus, Music For All doesn't really want us to attempt more than 5 pieces. In my opinion, this program below will be extemely strong and exciting. I am adding lots of percussion to La Vida Breve so that it is a powerful closer. Then we will wow them with our burnin' fast encore, Dizzy Fingers. I am also going to make a few changes to part assignments in order to accomodate all of you and make things fair. Please review the part assignment sheet below:
