NORFOLK, Va. — Meet the student and faculty faces that shape the Norfolk State University Spartan Legion's notorious and recognized percussion section, as they head off to Indianapolis for an international percussion convention to represent "the best of the best" in the drum world.
It marks the first time in program history NSU has been selected to perform at the international percussion convention known as PASIC, or the Percussive Arts Society International Convention.
The honor is a testament to the direction and credibility of the program's prestige and reputation.
“If you are a percussion student or major, and you get asked to perform, there is nothing bigger," said William Beathea, NSU's Director of Bands.
