The class ensemble meets during the normal school day. They prepare and perform music inclusive of classical, contemporary as well as music of many ethnic origins, Caribbean, African Drumming, Japanese folk music and much more.  These ensemble classes present a fall and spring concert.

Once marching band season ends, FHS band percussionists have the opportunity to participate in our Winter Percussion program. The Winter Percussion ensemble meets from late December to late March and learns a competitive percussion piece to compete against other schools in Indiana. Winter Percussion is a critical component of student musician training, and it provides an opportunity for percussion members to perform in a manner that highlights their instruments. During the Winter Percussion season, students perform a show between 4 to 6 minutes in length that is performed at competitions across Indiana.
