Can you believe we are only days away from the first Kids in the Rotunda of the season? I am so excited to be back in the Rotunda this Saturday, October 5, with long-time performers Black Star Drum Line Performance Group!
Discover the excitement of being in a drum line! A description of the different battery sections in a drum line and the role each drummer plays in the ensemble. Kids in the audience will get the opportunity to come up and play with the drum line during the performance. We will then play some of our signature drum cadences for every one to dance for a super funky good time!
As always, the 1pm performance will be ASL interpreted! Learn about accessibility at Overture: https://www.overture.org/visit/accessibility/

With Madison Scouts – I just got recognized as one of their top fans! 🎉

One thing I do for my drum students is set up their kits for them so the can practice on a kit with all compents working. They also learn how to set up their kit.
This is Luca Bentley, my youngest student and a huge Clyde Stubblefield fan. He is uber talented and becoming a multi-istrumentalist at 8 years old!!
Wish I had this set up when I was 8 years old.
