On Saturday, February 27, 2016 the Metuchen High School Band and Music parents hosted the 3rd Annual Artistry in Motion Indoor Guard and Percussion competition at Metuchen High School. This unique competition host some of the best indoor guard and percussion ensembles from around the state. Schools included Memorial High School, Arthur L. Clarke High School, North Brunswick High School, New Providence High School, Jefferson Township High School, East Side Winter Guard, Winter Star Guard, True Colors Guard, Matawan Regional High School, North Plainfield High School and of course the Metuchen High School Percussion Ensemble, Winter Guard, and their newly formed Indoor Winds Ensemble.
Indoor guard takes all of the beauty and pageantry of color guard and combines it with dance and theater to provide a very unique form of entertainment. Percussion ensembles bring the passion of percussion music inside to amaze every one that sees them and the newly formed category of indoor winds combines elements you would find in marching band (wind and brass instruments) and combines them with indoor drum line for what proves to be an exciting leap forward in indoor competitions. The groups coming have been working since the beginning of the winter and are looking forward to performing for everyone.
