RANDOLPH SCHOOL MIDDLE SCHOOL PERCUSSION ENSEMBLES
Since their founding in the fall of 2008, the Randolph School Middle School Percussion Ensembles have been a staple of the instrumental music program. This program serves to enrich the student experience in band through the performance of chamber ensemble literature. The ensemble consists of three groups- the 6th Grade Percussion Ensemble, the Middle School Percussion Ensemble, and the MS Honors Ensemble. These ensembles regularly perform at campus concerts and assemblies. In addition, this ensemble has had numerous showings at the North Alabama Percussion Ensemble Festival.
Andrew Kruspe is a freelance percussion instructor in Huntsville, Alabama. His clients include Randolph School, Sparkman High School, and numerous private students. Mr. Kruspe’s ensembles have performed at numerous events throughout the southeastern United States in both marching and concert settings. In addition to teaching, Mr. Kruspe is an active performer on the Irish bodhrán. He regularly performs with several ensembles throughout the South. In 2013, he presented a session on this drum at the Percussive Arts Society International Convention (PASIC). He is also the author of The Bodhran Primer, a book Percussive Notes called “…quite possibly the best instructional resource on Irish bodhrán by a musician born outside of Ireland.” Mr. Kruspe is a graduate of Louisiana State University (MM, 2003) and The University of Central Florida (BME, 1999). He is also a former United States Marine Corps field musician, having served with the Marine Forces Reserve Band in New Orleans, Louisiana.
