Phobias Enhanced Percussion

The Enhanced Percussion Score for Phobias is designed with total flexibility in mind, giving every percussion section—and pits of any size, from one player to 13—the power to customize their sound. Each score includes layered difficulty, offering both easy and advanced parts so directors can match the writing to their performers.

This system works whether your ensemble has:
• 1 snare and 1 bass,
• a very small pit with a single mallet player,
• a hybrid line with minimal battery, or
• a full complement of snares, cymbals, bass drums, quads, and a complete pit ensemble up to 13 players.

With flexible instrumentation, scalable textures, and optional voice layers, you can add or remove performers without losing musical flow or balance. The writing blends seamlessly with the FlexWind score and is designed to support pacing, visual coordination, and thematic clarity. This makes it ideal for programs with shifting numbers, mixed skill levels, or newly developing percussion sections.

In Phobias, the Enhanced Percussion Score amplifies the show’s cinematic tension as performers navigate fear-laden moments inspired by serpents, spiders, water, fire, and other universal phobias. Smaller groups can rely on simplified parts for control and clarity, while advanced lines can activate the layered material to create energy, color, and rhythmic impact.

Whether your ensemble is building toward competitive performances or crafting a strong narrative for audiences on Friday nights, the Phobias Enhanced Percussion Score provides a powerful, adaptable, and director-friendly percussive foundation. It is specifically crafted to be effective for pits ranging from one player to 13, plus battery configurations from minimal setups to full competitive lines—making it one of the most flexible percussion packages in the FIRE Series.
