Drum Squad had it's very first session at the Buzz Cafe youth centre last Saturday. And despite it being early days, the Squad are straight in at the deep end with TWO public appearances this month! This coming Saturday, Bo and two of his more experienced members Ben LeGrice and Reiss Hemming will be doing an improvised West African drumming busk as part of a fund raising event for the Alcester Rotary Club. They'll be hitting the streets from 2 till 3 in the afternoon as part of a Performance Arts based event that will be going on all day. More details to follow!
The second event is a bit of military style marching drums as a small group of Squaddies will be heading up the procession for the Shakespeare's Birthday celebration next Saturday April 30th. It'll be an early start (by rock 'n' roll standards!) as they set off from the top of Bridge Street at 10am and strut their stuff all the way down the hill, round the bend and finish down at the Holy Trinity Church. A proud moment for them and for the Drum Squad, and a great example of our aim to bring our drumming out in public and get involved with the local community.
We'd be very grateful for any and all photos or video footage taken of either of these two events. If you have anything you'd like to share with us, please send it to info@drumsquad.co.uk, or for larger video files you can upload them to YouTube and send us a link, or simply burn it onto a CD and drop it off any time at the Buzz Cafe marked for the attention of Drum Squad.
A great start and LOTS more to look forward to!
Keep the beat, and see you on the street!
