Designed for all levels of percussion students, the Texas State University percussion camp is a perfect way to gain an advantage for both the fall marching season as well as spring concert ensembles.

Participants of this camp are placed into drum lines based on ability and work on exercises and cadences that prepare them for the demands of the modern drumline. High school students may opt to take a symphonic track, and would therefore not have to participate in marching percussion. Master classes include concert, drum set, Latin percussion, steel drum band, drumline, and music technology. All classes address percussion performance techniques in each given area.

Texas State University faculty, including Genaro Gonzalez, Kari Klier, Butch Miles, Bobby Lopez and John Lopez, as well as excellent instructors from around the region serve as instructors for the camp. Additionally, Bret Kuhn, design and percussion consultant for the Bluecoats drum and bugle corps and former Caption Head of the Cavaliers drum and bugle corps, will serve as marching percussion instructor.

Students need to bring their own instruments (snare, tenors, bass, cymbals), carrier, drum stand and sticks/mallets. Keyboard percussion, steel drum band, Latin percussion and drum set equipment are provided.
