Fred Hoey (1920–1994)

Fred Hoey’s start in the music industry came at an early age upon winning the 1936 National Rudimental Drummer Competition.

Another milestone was achieved in 1969 when the Society was incorporated in Indiana as the Percussive Arts Society, Incorpo- rated, a status it maintained until 1985 when it was reincorporated under the laws of Illinois. Beginning in 1971, performances and clinics called “Days of Per- cussion” were held in conjunction with the yearly business meetings. In 1974, the first Percussive Arts Society National Conference (PASNC) was held in Anaheim and at California State University at Northridge. It was hosted by Lloyd McCausland and Joel Leach (CSU/ Northridge) and the PAS California Chapter, David Levine, chapter president. The PASNC evolved into the Percussive Arts Society Inter- national Convention that we know today as PASIC.
