Adam Mason was given carte blanche when he first came to the University of Lethbridge, as he endeavoured to put together a percussion program that would be the envy of his colleagues. In just a few short years he has been able to do just that, creating a program of excellence that regularly travels and performs locally, provincially, nationally and internationally.

Mason also incorporates the southern Alberta community into his program - another excellent example of how the University of Lethbridge is a community leader in the fine arts.
