Fall 2010

The AzPAS 24th Annual Fall Festival of Percussion took place on September 25, 2010 at Higley High School, hosted by Chesley Sharp.  This year's event included performances by 30 drumlines and over 45 solos and small ensembles. Our guest clinicians for the festival were Jeff Ausdemore and Dan Darrah, both instructors with the Blue Knights drum corps and Colleyville Heritage High School.  Each clinician provided taped and written feedback for the drumline performances and presented a clinic for many of the over 700 students and instructors in attendance.  Additional festival judges for the event were Vicente Lopez (drumline general effect) and Matt Coleman (solo & ensemble), as well as a collection of rotating critique judges providing each drumline with a 20-minute clinic immediately following their on-field performance.  Special thanks to the Avedis Zildjian Company, Brian J. Harris, Pearl Percussion, Pro-Mark Drumsticks, and Remo, Inc. for their support of this festival.
