📢 Introducing the 2027 WKYPF High School Senior Scholarship.

The West Kentucky Percussion Festival is proud to announce the WKYPF High School Senior Scholarship. This prize will be awarded to a graduating senior pursuing a music degree in college with an emphasis in percussion.

Rather than a traditional cash award, this prize package is intentionally designed to outfit the student with the exact physical tools they will need to succeed from their very first day of college. The bundle will include sticks, mallets, stick bags, gift cards, and more.

⚖️ Selection Process: The scholarship winner will be chosen through a formal application process evaluated by a panel of 11 music educators.

Details regarding eligibility requirements, deadlines, and the application process will be released shortly. Keep an eye on our page for updates!

That’s a wrap on the West Kentucky Percussion Festival 2026! 🥁

As I close the books on this year’s event, I want to extend a thank you to our 50 incredible sponsors who made this possible.

A special shout-out goes to Joel Watson, Tyler Casey, and the Muhlenberg County Band Boosters - your support was greatly appreciated.

While there are many more thank-yous and announcements to come, my focus is now shifting toward the upcoming 2026 marching band season at kyband.com.
