Rift Percussion began as a new collaborative project from many of the established percussion educators in East Idaho. The growth and success of marching arts in the area inspired the creation of Rift, based in Pocatello, but comprised of people from all over the area. Taking our name from the Great Rift of Idaho, which created landmarks that set Idaho apart from other states, we hope to create an ensemble that sets us apart as well.
Our vision is to create a safe and inclusive educational experience for young performers while creating an environment that is conducive to their individual growth as a player, performer, and person.
