The Elementary Honors Percussion Ensemble provides selected students in grades 4-5 the opportunity for a concert percussion ensemble experience. The students perform on a wide variety of instruments including snare drum, keyboard percussion, timpani and accessories. In addition, the members of this ensemble have the benefit of working with a member of the Mt. Lebanon Percussion staff who serves as the director of the ensemble. The Elementary Honors Percussion Ensemble rehearses once per week (usually Tuesday evenings for one hour) during the months of March, April and May. The ensemble then performs as part of the Mt. Lebanon Percussion's popular Evening of Percussion Concert Series in late May. The members of this ensemble are selected from all of the current 4th and 5th grade percussion students. The Elementary Band Directors nominate students from each of the District's seven elementary schools based on musical talent, percussion technique and general attitude. Students who are interested in performing with this ensemble should notify their respective Elementary Band Director as soon as possible. Selections are finalized during the month of January. The Elementary Honors Percussion Ensemble is directed by Mr. Subha Das, Assistant Director of the Mt. Lebanon Percussion. For further information on this ensemble, please visit the "News" page of this web site or contact either your Elementary Band Director or Mr. Das directly.
