Competition of Unspecified Identity - Results

On December 15th, 20009 Wolfs Percussion Theatre was once again in competition.

The Ensemble competed against 13 other Open Class Groups at 'Competition of Unspecified Identity', hosted by Drums of Unspecified Identity.

WPT scored a 61.230 and placed 12th.
The Ensemble took 5th in Music Performance, and 3rd in Visual Performance.

This season is proving to be tougher than expected. The kids are having difficulty maxing out the show and it is showing through their performances. Hopefully they can pull it together and make a run at the end of the season.

WPT is currently ranked 21st in Open Class.
The Ensemble is ranked 7th in Music Performance and 7th in Visual Performance.

War Against the Elite - Results

On December 12th, 20009 Wolfs Percussion Theatre was once again in competition.

The Ensemble competed against 3 other Open Class Groups at 'War Against the Elite', hosted by our close friends, Elitists IPE.

WPT scored a 59.440 and placed 3rd.

The ensemble has definitely shown improvement, but they continue to fall short of their own expectations and are having a disappointing season thus far. It will be tough for them to compete if they continue to get down on themselves.

WPT is currently ranked 18th in Open Class, and a little over 2 points away from being in position to make Finals.
