“Darkness. Hidden in the skin of the Earth. This tiny life has just begun, with hopes of one day growing into something beautiful.”

IMPACT Percussion is proud to announce its 2018 program: Into A Rose.

Using nature’s beauty as a visual backdrop and storyline, Into A Rose explores ideas of self-discovery, inner potential, and growth. As the show unfolds, audience members will see the cast members and the stage transform and evolve.

The show features original music from Matt Hahn, and “Kiss From A Rose” by Seal. Music from Jeff Beal, Lisa Coleman and Wendy Melvoin also inspired a portion of the music for this modern/organic production.

IMPACT’s show design team, made up of Chris Carrasco (Program Coordinator & Visual Designer), Matt Hahn (Front Ensemble Arranger & Sound Designer), Rudy Garcia (Battery Arranger), Josh Peterson (Ensemble Director), and Kade McKeever (Battery Caption Head), helped bring this idea to life.
