The Louisville Leopard Percussionists began in 1993. They are a performing ensemble of student musicians, ages 7-18, living in and around Louisville, Kentucky. Each student learns and acquires proficiency on several instruments, such as marimbas, xylophone, vibraphone, drum set, timbales, congas, bongos, and piano.
