Drumline/Percussion Ensemble

WHCI's Drumline/Percussion Ensemble 2007-08

West Humber Collegiate is the home of Toronto District School Board's one and only Percussion Ensemble Credit Course! The course is extremely popular, and includes Drumset, a Marching Drumline, "STOMP" percussion, and African Hand drums. We recently played for the Metro Bowl Championship Football game at the Rogers Centre as the featured drumline, live on Rogers Cable and also on City TV! WHCI Drumline has also played for over 2000 people annually at the Martin Luther King Celebrations at Hamilton Place each year since 2007! The program got off to a great start with the help of some professional-level Drum line equipment, thanks to Mr. Steve Butterworth, Yamaha's Band and Orchestra President, and Mr. Chris Reesor, Yamaha's Percussion Rep!

The Percussion Ensemble also incorporates professional caliber TABLA and DHOL drums (from India) and 28 African Djembe drums along with xylophone, bells, timpani and tons of other percussion!
