Marching Percussion
A Note on Classifications
Proper classification is essential if we are to have a level playing field for all of our participants. It is extremely important for all competing units to place themselves in the proper class. Units competing in classes inappropriate to their skill level may be reclassified at the discretion of the Classifications Committee. If you have any questions regarding Classifications, you can contact our Classifications Committee Chair, David Shives at [email protected].

Ensembles have some experience in the indoor percussion arena. Open Class ensembles have several members who understand the skills required to perform intermediate levels of playing and movement. Here is where the intermediate student explores new challenges through performance and realizes a greater sense of achievement as each more complex skill is learned.
