About PECAF
The PAS Percussion Ensemble Competitions & Festivals give students throughout the United States opportunities to learn music and percussion through performance and expert adjudicator feedback. Started in 2024, the program is expanding to even more locations in 2025.
Eligibility
The Percussion Ensemble Competitions and Festivals include competitive and non-competitive divisions for high school and middle school/junior high groups, as well as a non-competitive division for independent groups of middle to high school-age performers. Each group will be given a 30-minute time slot for set-up, performance, clinic, and tear-down.
Registration
Registration for these events will open in December of this year, and competition spots are expected to fill quickly. Space at each event will be limited, so directors should plan to reserve their spot as soon as registration opens in December. More details will be announced in the fall. All events are first-come, first-served.
Pricing
Entry fees for The PAS Percussion Ensemble Competitions & Festivals are:
- PAS Group Member: $250
- Nonmember: $400
- Nonmember for North Texas/Forney High School Location Only: $325
