The date of the 2025 SPES is April 18 & 19 and will be held at Lassiter High School in the Lassiter Concert Hall located in Marietta, Ga. We are adding a separate solo competition for concert snare, timpani and keyboard to be held on Saturday afternoon.

All information will be emailed out in November with registration opening in early December.

The purpose of the symposium is to encourage the growth of the percussion ensemble activity in a non-competitive environment. The Lassiter Concert Hall is a state of the art acoustic venue, while the festival provides quality evaluation so percussion students and ensemble directors can learn and grow while interacting with some of the best college instructors and performers in the country.
