Dear Students, Parents, and Directors, Welcome to Decatur Central High School. We are proud to be hosting our 10th annual percussion competition for the Indiana Percussion Association. In the past few years we have hosted events for WGI, IPA, BOA bands, and DCI groups. We hope your day is educationally rewarding and full of excitement. We are proud of our facility and the many band students and parents that help us in every facet regarding this event. The band department at Decatur Central is very active and includes two concert bands, two jazz ensembles, marching band, clarinet choir, two winter guards, and winter percussion. Our Winter Percussion Ensemble "WPE" has enjoyed much success in recent years including a State Championship in 2005, 2008 and again in 2013. Our band has participated in two Walt Disney World Tours, a New York City Tour, the 2004 Fiesta Bowl, the 2008 Sugar Bowl, the Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day Parade 2014, and placed first at WGI Indianapolis Regionals this year.

We hope you enjoy your day!!! Sincerely, Tim Cox and James Powell

IPA Classes

Scholastic Marching World Class (PSW) ensembles demonstrate a high degree of advanced development. All of the performers contribute to the consistent high levels of performance being demonstrated. World Class ensembles are trendsetters in the indoor percussion activity. Programs are unique and innovative and these components are important at this level. Some very sophisticated challenges will be placed on the performers. Scholastic Marching Open Class (PSO) ensembles have some experience in the indoor percussion arena. Open Class ensembles have several members who understand the skills required to perform intermediate levels of playing and movement. Here is where the intermediate student explores new challenges through performance and realizes a greater sense of achieve- ment as each more complex skill is learned. Scholastic A Marching Class (PSA) ensembles continue to explore the indoor percussion arena. Here is where the stu- dent develops and strengthens the basic musical skill sets. Members increase their understanding of the visual and performance responsibilities necessary for the success of the ensemble's production. Scholastic B Marching Class (PSB) ensembles are the younger, less developed participants. Here is where the student develops and strengthens the beginning musical skill sets. Members begin developing visual and performance responsibilities necessary for their ensemble's production. Scholastic Concert World Class (PSCW) is for those scholastic ensembles that wish to concentrate on the percussive ele- ment only. Instrumentation must be oriented to the performance of concert percussion. Movement will be permitted in order to allow performers to change equipment or to allow for better presentation of musical performance only. One student conductor is allowed in the concert classes. This is not a marching/visual class. Credit will be given for musical elements only. These perform- ers are experienced and fully trained. Trend setting programs and performance levels are often displayed. Scholastic Concert Open Class (PSCO) is for those scholastic ensembles that wish to concentrate on the percussive ele- ment only. Instrumentation must be oriented to the performance of concert percussion. Movement will be permitted in order to allow performers to change equipment or to allow for better presentation of musical performance only. One student conductor is allowed in the concert classes. This is not a marching/visual class. Credit will be given for musical elements only. Open Class en- sembles have several members who understand the skills required to perform intermediate levels of playing.

Scholastic Concert A Class (PSCA) is for those scholastic ensembles that wish to concentrate on the percussive element only. Instrumentation must be oriented to the performance of concert percussion. Movement will be permitted in order to allow performers to change equipment or to allow for better presentation of musical performance only. One student conductor is allowed in the concert classes. This is not a marching/visual class. Credit will be given for musical elements only. A Class ensembles are for the younger, less developed participants. Here is where the beginning stu- dent discovers the joy of performing and realizes the sense of achievement as each skill is learned. Independent Classes (PIW, PIO, PIA) uses the same criteria as the scholastic classes. (IPA uses the WGI PIW, PIO, PIA sheets for these classes). Independent groups competing in WGI must compete in the same respective class in IPA contests. Independent units can be reclassified at any time if deemed misclassified by the IPA Executive Board.

Non-competitive

Festival Movement (FM) is where the beginning student discovers the joy of performing and realizes the sense of achieve- ment as each skill is learned. This class will be comprised of the traditional performing ensembles found in the competitive move- ment classes. Festival Non-Movement (FNM) is where the beginning student discovers the joy of performing and realizes the sense of achievement as each skill is learned. This class will be comprised of the traditional performing ensembles found in the competitive concert classes. A stand still.
