Welcome to ER Drumline.com
|
The East Rochester Percussion Ensemble
exists to
provide an exciting and educational experience in music to those
students who are percussion majors, those who are new to percussion,
and those who are new to instrumental music.
And to rock. |

Drumline is a major part of Percussion Ensemble, a
full-credit course at East Rochester High School that was split six
years ago from the high school band.
In addition to
working as a Drumline, we study a number of other areas of
percussion including concert percussion, mallets, drumset, and
ethnic drumming styles. Selected students learn concert band
percussion parts and rehearse and perform with the Wind Ensemble.

Let's make this
clear: Percussion Ensemble does a whole lot in addition to
marching as the drumline. But we do that as well...

Here's a
great story... |

to the right to hear
the Percussion Ensemble perform our arrangement of Rondo Alla
Turca on Orff xylophones at the 2006 concert
celebrating the 250th anniversary of Mozart's birth. Yes it's a
couple of years old. It's from, like, before Twitter. But I still like
it. |
