Blast!
In Drum Corps and Marching Band, the percussion section "Drives the Car" and "Colors the Musical Portrait". In indoor percussion, the ensemble is the car; is the portrait; is the sole means of entertainment! This is an activity who's educational and musical benefits are equaled by the amount of fun it's participants have!"

"The Mid-Atlantic Percussion Society will help to develop it's participants to the latest standards in the indoor percussion activity. This will allow the participants the opportunity to see more and subsequently learn more about the state-of-the-art in the percussion activity today. This can only raise the level of the units in this already strong region."
