Percussion Ensemble


The McKendree University Percussion Ensemble presents material ranging from the early 1930's to contemporary literature, traditional transcriptions, and adaptations, and original compositions. The students represent a variety of academic areas across campus.

 

Drumline


The Band Drumline is an important part of the band. Comprised of percussionists, as well as Music Education majors, the ensemble serves as a learning environment for all involved.


The Drumline rehearses 3 days a week with the band, as well as sectional times scheduled outside of the rehearsal schedule. The line consists of Basses, Snares, Tenors, and Cymbals.

The Drumline performs at all home football games with the band, as well as other special events through the year.
