Wyoming Area Indoor Percussion 2011

The Wyoming Area Music Department is proud to present the 2011 Indoor Percussion program entitled "The Age of Anthracite: A Day in the Life." The show explores the lifestyle and daily routines of the average turn-of-the-century coal miner. Follow us from the first sound of the work bell, hop into a mine cart and join us on our descent into the mine. It is here that our "black gold" is drilled, shoveled and then transported to the surface where it is sorted by the breaker boys. Mining is a dirty job, but someone has to do it. Beware of cave-ins and black lung disease. But fear not, for a miners' life isn't all hardships. If you survive our journey you're welcome to join us in the tavern, the place where every respectable coal miner will end his day on an upbeat note.

This year's staff includes:
Mr. Brendan Carter -- Director
Mr. Eric Boylan -- Asst. Director/ technician
Mrs. Shea Riley -- Director of Bands
Mr. Tom Wynder -- Battery Arranger
Mr. Greg Riley -- Pit Percussion Arranger
Mr. Adam Ω. Burdett -- Percussion Sensei/ Spiritual guidance

The percussion ensemble would like to thank the Wyoming Area School District and most of all the Wyoming Area Music Sponsors. Without all of their support none of this would even be possible.

Wyoming Area uses only Vic Firth sticks and mallets.
