Students may take PERCUSSION ENSEMBLE as a class at SPHS. The group performs at the school's Winter Concert in December and the Spring Concert in May, as well as at the County and State Solo & Ensemble Festivals in the Spring.

There is great variety in skill level of the students at the beginning of the year, ranging from percussion beginners to students who have spent years playing in symphonic or marching band.

Percussion Ensemble is slightly different from Symphonic Band and Orchestra in that there is no pre-defined shirt or pants students are required to wear. 

Instead the uniform is as follows for all performances:

• Black Dress Shirt
• Black Pants - No Jeans
• "Fun" Socks
• Black Shoes - Closed Toe
