Percussion Coordinator Responsibilities
Pre - Auditions
- Coordinate with Concert & Symphonic organizers. Get percussion parts of
the selected music, and create the percussion folders
- Assign parts according to chair order
- Get parts to the band organizers the day of auditions for them to pass
out the music.
- Provide all information you want posted on the ATSSB Region 13 website
to the webmaster.
Pre - Clinic
- Assign schools to bring all percussion equipment needed for all songs in
both bands.
- Be sure to arrange double instruments for rehearsals (eg, 2 sets of
timpani, bass drum, snare, etc..)
- Coordinate with clinician and band organizers regarding stage set-up
- Give original music back to the organizers to be placed back with the
rest of the original music.
Day of Concert
- Be sure that all percussion needs are addressed and all equipment needs
are on stage and ready for the concert.
- Organize the students and directors to help set up between bands
- Make sure all equipment is returned
The key to success here is to prepare before the actual audition, and to have
all parts assigned. Requiring the students that make the band on a certain
instrument to bring that instrument is a good practice. For example, you could
have your timpanists bring their own equipment (providing that it is good
equipment).
