Percussion Ensemble
Doug Wallace, Director
The American Youth Percussion Ensemble is comprised of all percussionists from the American Youth Philharmonic Orchestras (AYP, AYSO, AYCO, AYSE, and AYDO). Under the leadership of Doug Wallace, the Percussion Ensemble has become its own community within the AYPO organization. Percussion Ensemble members play for their aforementioned orchestras, but also rehearse independently to prepare for their own concert in the spring. The Percussion Ensemble has gained national acclaim through its two performances at the Music for All National Festival in Indianapolis, IN in 2012, 2015, and 2024. Those wishing to apply as an AYPO Percussionist can apply via the audition application.
