Percussion One, an independent high school drumline and percussion ensemble that serve as “Artists in Residence” at Lone Star College-CyFair, closes their performance season with “Dog Dayz of Drummerz” concert set May 22.

Bring the family and enjoy a Sunday evening of musical compositions featuring Houston area students on snare drums, tenor drums, bass drums, trash cans and closet rods.

Percussion One (P1), a diverse group of musicians and percussionists and P1-13, the expansion of P1 featuring junior high and middle school percussionists, perform under the direction of Lamar Burkhalter, founder and executive director of the nonprofit Percussion One Foundation. Burkhalter is an active percussion educator, clinical, arranger and performer as well as music director for the NFL Houston Texans.

In addition to local and state community performances this season, the talented musicians of P1 and P1-13 opened for the Blue Man Group at Jones Hall this year. At the 2011 Texas Music Educators Association Clinic/Convention, P1-13 earned rave reviews for a lecture clinic performance and a standing-room only showcase concert for an audience of 500 music students and directors.
