Akins Percussion Studio

2019-2020 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.
