Percussion One was founded in 1994 by Lamar D. Burkhalter. After acquiring 501(c)3 non profit status in 2005, the Percussion One Foundation now encompasses many different ensembles to provide percussive instruction, education and performance opportunities for percussionists at many levels. Each ensemble highlights the organization's percussive arts education and exemplary standard of citizenship.

P1: THE DRUMLINE/ THE ENSEMBLE is an independent, community-based percussion ensemble and drumline comprised of high school percussionists from the Greater Houston area. P1 was created to give young players from varying backgrounds and programs an opportunity to perform in a percussion ensemble or drumline that excels in both education and performance.

By receiving excellent instruction with attention given to technique, detail, and repetition, the students are able to experience improvement of skills and abilities through performances at many varied venues.

Percussion One membership is open to all Houston area high school percussionists. Auditions are held mid-October, however, rehearsals do not begin until mid-November after the competitive high school marching season is over. Audition applications and music will be posted on our website prior to the audition date.
