Winter Percussion
We welcome you to become part of a highly acclaimed musical organization. Newtown Winter Percussion (NWP) is open to ALL members of the NHS Marching Band (you do not need to be a pit or drumline member to join) and to other students at Newtown High School by audition. Middle school students are welcome and we will try to find spots for any student that shows an interest in our ensemble. Spots will be assigned by the NWP Staff.
PHILOSOPHY: The goal of this ensemble (aside from the obvious improvement of the group) is to instill pride and ownership of the percussion section by all of its members. We will support the band, its director, and the color guard programs. We will have fun and we will always strive for excellence.
