KBB (Percussion)

Section Leaders:
Tasos Gogakos and Kate Gonzales

Welcome to Kappa Banga Banga, the YPMB percussion fraternity. We help make the YPMB not only rhythmic, but oh, so very sexy. Our lips are never tired. We never stop banging. We strike fear in the hearts of the uninitiated. Woodwinds cower when they see a pair of cymbals pointed in their direction. Opposing bands blanch when confronted with our sheer power. Parents hide their children when they hear "Heidy Teidy." But you don't have to be afraid-we're really very friendly!

We have new snares. We have tonal basses. We are louder than ever. Resistance is futile. You will spin around when we cadence. You will dance when we play "Omega." You will fall in love with the noise, the dripping blue face paint, the sound, the fury and the mad group love that is KBB. I mean, just look at us!

Got a question? Like to join the revelry and mayhem? Email Kate or Tasos, the section leaders.
