\u201cIt’s a rare and extremely exciting opportunity for them,\u201d said Percussion Director, Brian Bass. \u201cThey will compete by performing music against the other 20 high school ensembles in attendance. If they win, they will be asked to perform again at the end of the convention with the winner from the college competition. They will also attend concerts, clinics, and an extensive exhibit hall with anyone and everyone who is in the percussion world.\u201d<\/h3>\n
