How Percussion Ensemble fits.

This is a specialist ensemble rather than a rung on the orchestral ladder. Students take it alongside their orchestra, and it is one of the few classes at COS a parent can join too.

PARENT PARTICIPATION DETAIL NEEDED

The existing copy says the class is available to students and their parents, which is unusual and worth promoting properly. COS needs to confirm whether a parent enrols separately, whether there is a fee, and whether prior experience is required. Right now the claim sits on the page with nothing behind it.

Percussion Ensemble runs alongside your child’s orchestra on the same Saturday. Start with an audition and faculty will build the day around them.
