SCHLAGZEUGFEST '26 will be SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 2026
with special guests HEARTLAND MARIMBA
This "festival of hitting things" will include a series of short inspirational clinics, performances, and activities for the percussionists at WVHS and students from the middle schools across District 204. Since its inception in 2006, Schlagzeugfest has been all about building a vibrant and supportive community of percussionists. The festival will hopefully prove to be interactive, inspiring and eye-opening for all who attend.
