The Percussion Two class is a part of Powhatan High School Bands and is under the direction of Mr. Neil Landini.

Purpose:
As an extension of the wind ensemble, Percussion Ensemble Two will be an intensive advanced study of the percussive arts. Literature will consist of wind ensemble band parts as well as specialized concert percussion literature suitable for the skill level of the class.  Students will be able to display mastery of all 40 PAS rudiments, all major and minor scales and arpeggios, basic chord progressions, as well as the ability to count and play in most meters. Also, each student should display knowledge of techniques of a variety of percussion instruments as well as college preparatory ability on at least one of these. Percussion ensemble students are expected to master all concert music, as well as participate in classroom percussion performances required as a part of the class grade.  Students taking this class are highly encouraged to supplement their experience by participating in marching band and indoor percussion.

Materials:
This class uses a variety of handouts and exercises to continue musical and technical development.  In addition, percussion students are required to purchase the Innovative Percussion FP-3 mallet bag to provide for their mallet needs.
