PPS Percussion Ensemble — “Interstellar”

Several of our percussionists will be performing with other percussionists across the district to virtually perform an arrangement from the movie “Interstellar” that was arranged by my wonderful colleague from Grant HS, Brian McFadden. Students are recording their parts by the middle of April, and the finished product will be shared later. We plan to include it in our Play-a-thon concert on May 21st, as well.

Play-a-thon Concert

Our Play-a-thon Concert will be on Friday, May 21st from 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm. This will be a recurring concert that repeats about every hour. There will be a GoFundMe page associated with this concert to raise funds to cover what was spent this year.

Jazz Ensemble

Jazz Ensemble results were posted on Friday 4/2 in the announcement sections of all of the band Canvas pages. They are still needing some “interest” in the trumpet section and saxophone section. In some cases, it is not interest, but room in the schedule. Regardless, Mr. Riler is hoping that some students will step forward who are interested to see if they can figure out a way to make it work. Mr. Riler has shared this in most of the classes, he is hopeful it might be a talking point at home if there is a trumpeter or saxophonist in your home.
