Navigate the tricky waters of WGI A Class with confidence! Success in percussion A Class often comes down to programming the right skills for your students.   Because of limited rehearsal time and the need to allocate significant time to training your A Class students, each skill that you program into your show requires a substantial investment of your time.  This video will help you decide which skills to teach your students and how to program them into your show to maximize your rehearsal time and to set your students up for educational and competitive success.

 If you’ve tried reading the sheets, asked questions at circuit meetings, but still have trouble knowing exactly how to define and design class-appropriate material, then we’d love to share exactly how to approach percussion A-Class. You deserve to be set up for success with your group, and Paul Weber & Matt Hahn from Irondale HS will get you there.
