The USC Percussion Ensemble consists of 12-15 percussion students who perform a wide variety of music written expressly for percussion. This groups presents several concerts each year, including a Fall and Spring Semester concert, along with a performance at the annual Band Clinic. Selections range from chamber works for three to four performers to works using large forces of personell and instruments. Recently the USC Percussion Ensemble was a featured performing ensemble at the South Carolina Day of Percussion and the USC Gift of Music Concert. This ensemble frequently has the opporunity to perform with visiting guest artists hosted by the Percussion Program. In the Spring of 2003, Dr. John Parks performed with the USC Percussion Ensemble, and most recently, Michael Burrritt was our featured guest.
