Welcome

Thank you for stopping by the USC Percussion website, where you will find information on all percussion events at USC. The percussion program at USC is multi-faceted and indeed all percussionists will find something to spark their interests. The performance opportunities for students include the 280 member Carolina Marching Band, 3 Concert Bands, the USC Symphony Orchestra, Southern Exposure New Music Ensemble, Percussion Ensemble and the Palmetto Pans Steel Band. We offer several degree options for music majors and encourage non-music majors to participate in our ensembles. Percussion students also have a wealth of learning opportunities including private lessons, studio classes and clinic/masterclasses with guest artists. Currently the percussion studio is large enough to fill all major ensembles and small enough to ensure that each student receives one-on-one attention. The percussion facilities at USC are first-rate, and the inventory of percussion instruments expands frequently.

I hope you will take the time to browse through the percussion website to see what an exciting time it is for percussion at USC. Please visit this site periodically to access current information and upcoming events. You can also check out USC Percussion on our MYSPACE page at myspace.com/uscpercussion.
