Percussion Ensemble
The South Ayrshire Percussion Ensemble (SAPE) provides young people with the opportunity to learn and develop their percussion skills in a group environment. The group has a three tier structure which allows the opportunity for progression to a high standard of performance.
The ensemble performs a variety of styles ranging from classical hits to popular songs specially arranged for the group. In addition to performing a series of concerts across Ayrshie since its formation in 2006, the ensemble has also had the opportunity to go further afield:
· In 2009 the ensemble travelled to London to see two West End Shows and work with professional percussionists active in the Wes End
scene.
· In 2011 the ensemble travelled to Paris with the South Ayrshire Jazz Band and performed three concerts, including a memorable
performance in Disneyland
· In 2013 the ensemble will tour South-West Germany.
