GLENVILLE, WV - The ย้ถนสำฦตนูอ๘ Percussion Ensemble will hold a fall concert on Thursday, November 3 at 7:00 p.m. in the Fine Arts Center Auditorium. Admission is by donation.

Attendees can expect to hear a range of literature written specifically for percussion, including African drumming, avant-garde, small percussion groups, and full percussion ensemble.

โ€œWe wanted to do a fall concert because it gives us an opportunity to perform and something to work toward during the semester. I also thought it would be good for the growth of the players and allow us to focus solely on classical and world percussion,โ€ said ensemble director Garrett Hacker. โ€œI think those who come out will see and hear a lot of exciting things that they havenโ€™t experienced before.โ€

The Percussion Ensemble includes all of the students who participated in the spring concert in addition to four new members.

โ€œFinding rehearsal time in the fall has been a challenge since all of the ensemble members are also in marching band. So, we have put in a lot of work on our Thursday night rehearsals and personal practice time to get everything together. Everyone in the ensemble has put in a lot of time, work, and effort over the past couple of months, and it has definitely shown,โ€ Hacker added.
