Dear Winter Percussion Ensemble Families,

The Winter Percussion Ensemble is in need of volunteers to help get us on and off the courts when we perform. Most things will be light to medium in terms of heaviness. This Friday night, in the High School Band Room, I invite you to come listen to the group for the first time, and find out how to help get us on and of the performance floor.

If we can make it work with a few number of extra people, I may be able to cover their cost to enter the event that day. They must enter with the group at a different entrance upon arrival though. I will have more information regarding this on Friday Night.

We will practice from 6-8 on Friday night with attention being paid to how to get on and off the floor, and having the students practice for a crowd.

If you would like to ride with the Percussion Ensemble on Saturday, please let me know in advance. We will leave OHS by 10:30 am. We will load the busses to leave as soon as the OHS Winter guard is done performing @ 4 pm.

This is going to be an exciting year with the New and Improved Winter Percussion Ensemble. I hope you take the time to see the group and enjoy what they are working so hard on.

Thank you for your continued support of the Odessa Band Program and it’s satellite programs!

Sincerely,

Kirby Spayde
Assist. Dir. Of Bands/Director of Percussion

The Drumline at Odessa High School is made up only of students currently enrolled in the instrumental music program in the High School. The Drumline is made of the Front Ensemble that is taking a prominent role within the marching program, and the battery. The Drumline rehearses everyday for 50 minutes during first hour. During marching season the line, as well as the full band, meets an hour prior to first hour for extra rehearsal as well as Tuesday and Thursday night rehearsals.
