During the Spring Semester, the percussionists are split among the four concert ensembles (Concert Band, Symphonic Band, Symphonic Winds and Wind Ensemble). However, during those class periods, percussionists are given specific instructional time to improve their skills and pedagogy. This year is the first year for the Chap Band to offer a Percussion Ensemble class alongside the concert bands. The Percussion Ensemble holds a concert in March at the Westlake HS PAC. This concert showcases ensembles and soloists from each band, as well as both middle school percussion groups
