What is Indoor Percussion?

 

One of most dynamic and exciting groups at RV, the Indoor Percussion Ensemble competes each year during the winter and spring seasons.  This ensemble contains many different types of percussion instrumentation, both stationary – the pit, and marching – the battery.   The music selections provide highs and lows that shape the impact response of the audience and judges, and provide opportunity to develop conceptual ideas.  A combination of musical and visual programming allows these students to participate in a competitive venue with the TIA and WGI circuits

The 2007 ensemble took 2nd place at the TIA Chapter I Scholastic A Championship with their high energy show entitled “Auto Focus”.  The RV Indoor Percussion ensemble is under the direction of Mr. David Britton as well as several highly trained instructors.

Hey everyone.  Here's what we're looking at for this week.

 
Next Saturday, at the Abington show...
...we will be playing and moving the show into the downbeat of measure 43 in Part 3.
 
To make this happen, this week we will....
-  Give the pit ALL of Tuesday evening to tighten up Part 3 up to that point.
-  Give the battery 1 hour of "putting-it-together"-time before spending the next 2 hours of Tuesday evening reviewing the drill with the music and maybe learning a couple of more sets up to m.43
-  Spend all of Thursday with the pit & battery together in ensemble and on the floor repping through Part 3 and the whole show
-  Make sure all sections of the battery have drill on hand for reference to make the process faster.
 
To ensure a great & productive week, all members must...
-  PREPARE all music and make sure it is MEMORIZED.  And not just memorized...but FLAWLESSLY memorized and prepared.  We will not have time to spoon feed any notes to people.  You have had this music for quite some time now. 
-  REVIEW all drill phrases with the music phrases (battery).  Everyone must know where all step-offs & direction changes occur.
-  RECALL everything that was covered a few weeks back when we initially learned these portions of the show (Part 3).
-  BE WILLING to help one another out so we can all be successful.
-  COMMIT to having absolutely QUIET rehearsals with the highest degree of focus...and a unified approach to performing & rehearsing that will make you not just good but GREAT.
 
We fully expect all members to be prepared this week.   Please remember, being a member of the RV Indoor Percussion Ensemble is a privilege, not a right.  Those who are prepared rehearse...those who are not, sit out and practice on their own until they are.  We have a lot of room for growth this season.  Let's take advantage of this opportunity to get better.
 
Here's to a great week.
 
~ Mr Britton
