Performer Bio Synopsis

Memorial High School is one of 12 high schools in Frisco ISD and serves a vibrant and diverse student body. The school’s percussion program plays a central role in the band curriculum, featuring both drumline and percussion ensembles that offer a wide range of performance and competitive opportunities. In the fall, percussion students perform with the Memorial High School Marching Band and compete in regional drumline events. In the spring, they audition for concert band placements and take part in two dedicated percussion ensemble concerts, showcasing guest artists. Through these experiences, the Memorial percussion program cultivates musical growth, technical skill, and a strong sense of community.
