Kyle Watts
Front Ensemble

Kyle Watts is a front ensemble instructor and mallet-percussion specialist entering his sixth year on staff with Redline Percussion Ensemble. Based in Michigan, he has taught across numerous school programs statewide and spent two seasons on staff with INov8 Percussion Ensemble in Kentucky. As a performer, Kyle marched with the Madison Scouts Drum & Bugle Corps as well as Redline Percussion Ensemble, NorthCoast Academy, and Eastside Fury Percussion Ensemble. He brings a blend of high-level performance experience and practical teaching to the floor—emphasizing sound production, efficient technique, ensemble listening, and clear rehearsal systems that translate to cleaner performances. Kyle’s approach centers on building confident, musical players who can execute under pressure while understanding their role in the larger ensemble.
