Percussion

The Percussion section is not only home to several types of drums and cymbals, but also several types of mallet instruments! Examples of these include the bells (or glockenspiel), xylophone, and tubular chimes. While we currently own some of these items, they were given to us secondhand and are now beginning to show their age. We are currently raising funds to purchase these instruments new so that they might last for several generations. Previous donations have allowed us to replace our old set of 2 timpani with a new set of 4 professional-grade Timpani. Most recently, we were able to purchase a new 1.6 octave set of tubular chimes, something our ensemble has never owned before! Below are our current desires for the percussion section in priority order.
