About Victor Percussion
In 20 seasons, the Victor Indoor Percussion Ensemble has 11 NYS gold medals, WGI regional championships, and has been a finalist and medalist at WGI World Championships. VIPE has finished out of the NYSPC's top two only twice in two decades. But this program is about much more than trophies. It's about building community, teamwork, and striving for individual and group excellence. Our most important goal is to help build great humans who lift each other up.
VIPE is an auditioned ensemble that is financially and logistically supported by the Victor Band Boosters, and the Victor Central School District.
Victor competes in the New York State Percussion Circuit and WGI's Open Class Percussion division (PSO), and is currently the only open class program in New York State.
