Description
This incredible percussion ensemble offers a high-energy, tightly choreographed performance infused with fine musicianship, variety, instruction, and audience participation. The musical genres flow from classical to ragtime to improvisation and more—even when rusty brake shoes, garbage cans, and wooden stools supplant traditional instrumentation. Topping it all off is the group’s astonishing teamwork, a steady source of visual delight.

Testimonials
Entire class was engaged! Percussion is now a vocabulary word and this presentation inspired future percussionists! Thank you.
Teacher, Zane North Elementary
It was a blast! Both the students and the staff really enjoyed the performance. Everyone was left with a little extra beat to their step!
Art Teacher
The idea of using everyday items has inspired many of the students to form drum bands in their backyards doing using everyday items like trash cans, etc.
Teacher, Prospect Park School
