Akins Percussion Studio

Picture
2023 - 2024 Akins Percussion Section
The Akins Percussion Studio is comprised of 9th - 12th grade percussionists.  The students in this studio perform as the drumline and front ensemble in the AEB Marching Band, the background percussion with the AEB Concert Bands, and various percussion ensembles in the Spring semester.  The Akins Percussion Studio strives to be a highly competitive ensemble through hard work, friendship, loyalty, cooperation, and enthusiasm!  Apart from our regular performing ensembles, our percussionists get to enjoy performing for Elementary School Pep Rallies, and various community events hosted at Akins High School.
