Percussion sectionals take place during regular rehearsal times

Under the direction of Brian Baldauff, Director of Percussion Studies at UW-Stevens Point and assisted by current music education majors in the percussion studio, this offers an engaging, fun, and supportive experience, focused on the mission of improving skills in musicianship, technique, and ensemble playing. Rehearsals and lessons will teach students a well-rounded approach to percussion playing, skills they can also use in their school music programs.
