Indoor percussion home show

The Albany Indoor Percussion Ensemble will host a home show at Albany High School.

Doors open at 11:30 a.m. Tickets are $8 each. You also can round up to the “nearest ten,” and the extra two dollars will support the Albany Marching Falcons’ upcoming trip to France in June. 

Albany Indoor Percussion Ensemble is made up of City School District of Albany students in grades 6-12 who simultaneously play a range of percussion instruments, march, dance and perform theater.  

The Feb. 10 home show is open to the community and will feature district students along with musician-performers from eight other schools, with special guest performances from two University at Albany ensembles. 

The ensemble is split into junior varsity and varsity levels: JV is for younger students, students new to percussion and students with limited availability; varsity is for advanced students who want to compete in a more time-intensive version of the activity.  

Varsity members compete in the New York State Percussion Circuit under the direction of Mark Sanford, who also serves as the percussion coach for the Albany Marching Falcons. Assistant directors are Juliette Jozwiak (varsity) and Isaiah Van Buren (JV).
