Indianapolis, IN For Immediate Release
- With the continued positive news regarding the COVID-19 vaccination rollout in the United States, PAS is optimistic that PASIC™ 2021 will take place safely and in-person, as planned, this coming November 10-13, 2021. PAS continues to work closely with state and local health officials as well as our Indianapolis convention and tourism partners to implement all health safety protocols recommended for large group settings. 

In celebration of the Percussive Arts Society’s 60th Anniversary, and in recognition of the unprecedented challenges facing our drum and percussion community this past year, PAS is thrilled to share that registration for a 2021 4-day PASIC™ badge will open to all members for only $60. This one-time special price will be available for 60 days at $60 from Monday, May 17 through Friday, July 16. In addition, PAS has been working closely with our local hotel partners, and have been able to reduce room rates for 2021.

“PASIC is more than a Convention. It is more than an Expo Hall, Clinics, and Concerts. As my dear friend Michael Balter says, PASIC is a family reunion, and we will do all we can to ensure that everyone who wishes to attend will be able to reunite in person in Indianapolis November 10-13, 2021” said Joshua Simonds, PAS Executive Director. 

In addition, for those who will be unable to attend PASIC™ 2021 in Indianapolis, PAS will once again have a virtual option available. More information regarding the virtual options and registration will be announced in summer 2021.

The PASIC™ hotel reservation website is now officially open, and PASIC™ registration will officially open on May 17, 2021. PAS looks forward to continually working to make PASIC™ 2021 a safe, educational, and memory-filled event.
