Congratulations
Logan Percussion!
In
a very respectable showing, the
James Logan Percussion
Ensemble finished 8th in Scholastic
World competition at the WGI World Percussion
Championships in San Diego, CA. Hampered by high
winds on Friday and rain on Saturday, making the
transporting of props and equipment to the arena
particularly difficult, the ensemble persevered and
gave excellent performances of its show,
"Innovations" in both preliminaries
and finals competition. This is the first time
since 1997 that the Logan Percussion ensemble has
attended the world championships and it is quite an
accomplishment just to have made it to the finals
which included the top 12 finishers from the
preliminary round. There were ensembles from all
over the country performing a wide variety of
shows. Logan's high energy show brought cheers from
the audience, especially during the part of the
show when the performers brought out "The
Rack."
Congratulations to Mr.
Oliver, Mr. Karlin, the percussion staff and all
our ensemble performers on a great
season!
