Keyboard percussion is the melodic voice of your percussion section—but assessing four different instruments with one tool is a challenge.

This Keyboard Percussion Jury & Pass-Off Assessment provides a clear, efficient way to evaluate marimba, vibraphone, xylophone, and chimes using performance-based criteria aligned with UIL concert expectations. The assessment focuses on mallet selection, tone production, pitch accuracy, rhythm, phrasing, and pedaling/dampening, with instrument-specific guidance built directly into the sheet.

Built by a practicing high school percussion director. Perfect for directors who want authentic keyboard evaluation without overcomplicating rehearsal time.
