Palen Percussion Preview
is a non-competitive drumline festival with world-class
clinicians focused on groups of all sizes and ability
levels! Each group will receive a performance slot, a
20-minute clinic, and then a private meeting for the
director to visit with the clinician.
There is no need to wear uniforms, do any movement,
or play the whole show. This non-competitive event is
about percussion education, supporting other groups, and
identifying areas of strength and weakness as you
prepare for the competitive fall season. Most groups
perform a movement or two from their show. We encourage
you to stick around to listen to other groups perform,
and then learn from the comments and instruction given
by the clinicians. We are also very excited to welcome
back Missouri State University as the finale
performance.
Entry fee is
$150 per group. Deadline for entry is August 31st. There
is only space for 20 groups, so act quickly to reserve
your spot.
