The Abington Percussion Theater
Proudly Presents:
Our 2008 production “POP!” promises to be a fun and exciting
journey into the world of today’s popular culture! Always fun, sometimes
daring, and even relevant, these are the sights and sound that define
our generation. We will even look back in our “POP” history!
“We feel its very important to re-invent ourselves from year to year and
bring our audience a new look and new sound.” said APT Director Tony
Perez. “We enjoy our reputation for being different, daring and even a
little crazy!”
“We were so excited when the staff told us what the show was this year!”
said senior ensemble leader Dan Fisher. “I have always loved the shows
we have performed, but this one is going to be even better because its
all fun music that everyone will know from the moment they hear it. Most
of this is in my I-Pod already! I cant think of a more fun way to end my
drum line career at Abington!” Fellow percussion leader Lizz Craig
agreed stating “This show will be so much fun because the music is
already exciting before we even play it! In the past, I grew to love all
of our music, but a lot of it was stuff I had never even heard of. THIS
is all stuff I already listen to and I can’t wait to make it connect
with my teammates and eventually, the audience!”
“No matter what material we play, we always hope to have some type of
emotional response from the audience. Our primary goal is first and
foremost PERFORMANCE. The staff and I felt that this drum line is
finally ready to take on a show this charismatic and exciting in its
content. Every year these young people do themselves, our school and our
town proud and this year we look forward to bringing the fun and
excitement of “POP” to everyone who sees it!
The Abington Percussion Theater is a Scholastic Open class marching
percussion ensemble competing in the Mid-Atlantic Percussion Society,
and a Scholastic World unit in the Tournament Indoor Association. See
