ATLANTA QUEST

PERCUSSION INDEPENDENT WORLD

Our legacy ensemble, Atlanta Quest (AQ), was founded in 2002 and competed in both Percussion Independent Open and World Class making finals four times, including a bronze medal in 2013. Fresh off our third place finish, AQ transitioned fully to World Class and earned our highest placement ever, in 8th place.

We are eight-time PIW finalists (finished 12th in 2024) and are known for our challenging music and technical proficiency. Our members at AQ generally range between 17 - 22 years of age, and come from all across the Southeast to be surrounded and taught by (and become themselves) some of the best musicians in the marching percussion world.

Our body of staff boasts multiple World Championships and medalist finishes as both performers and instructors in WGI/DCI, yeras of performance and creative experience with Cirque du Soleil, and brings deep and nuanced expertise to share with our members. Outside of AQ, our staff educates students from elementary, middle & high school, up to college and world class drum corps. Our staff work tirelessly each year to craft an educational and memorable experience for each and every member.
