Competition

The Indiana Percussion Association has Chosen competition as its method for organizing youth activities in persuit of high standards of achievement. We maintain that competition is only the means, subject to whatever controls are necessary to serve the true end -- the participants. Thus, the IPA is organized and administered on the principle that its leaders are professionals teaching by example both in and out of the competitive arena. As mature persons, the IPA leaders know that our youth will learn life attitudes from all the observations of and interactions with those adults who are their models.
