Part of the percussion section that plays a big role in making everything come together is the Pit. They work super hard and sound amazing. They are very in-sync with each other and work very well together as a section. Pit posing for their silly picture at U of A Band Day.

Percussion meets every other saturday during the summer to practice. A week before we all come together for band camp, percussion has their own camp of nothing but drumming all day for 5 days. Then when band camp starts, we come together with everyone and then branch off from the band to go practice on our own.
