They are packing their percussion instruments and headed out for a pretty prestigious competition. The Mountain Ridge High School percussion ensemble will be competing in the WGI 2025 Percussion World Championships this week in Dayton Ohio. A total of 34 students will be competing led by band director Cris Stiles.
They will be performing “Echoes of Ashes,” a set depicting the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in Pompeii when they compete on Thursday morning.
We wish these talented students the very best of luck!
