We're excited to offer up a Percussion Master Class this year! Students (and their parents) who are interested in percussion are invited to observe.

Psst…PYP has percussion scholarships for S.W. Washington based students!

The clinic will take place on April 16 at Union High School in Vancouver, WA. Our instructors, Gordon Rencher & Brian Gardiner, will give live coaching to state-qualifying soloists and small ensembles
