Join FACT and Shark City Drumming for our Drum Line and rhythm class! GonnawannaDRUMagin' is a 10-week creative drumming program with certified drumming instructor(s) and teaching artist from Shark City Drum. Each session will explore the different techniques needed to play a drum: rhythm, holding of the drum sticks, different beat counts, and playing a drumming piece. FACT and Shark City will host one 10-week course. Our last 2 weeks of class will be considered the dress rehearsal and FACT performance. Our 101 AND 201 drummers and their families will be invited to the final showcase on December 10- the last day of class. The showcase will be open to all families and guests and held at the FACT Autism Resource Center. 101 Drummers will not participate in the Shark City BIG showcase on December 13. The final class of drumming will be designed to be the performance for 101 Drummers (and dress rehearsal for 201 Drummers). 201 Drummers will perform in the FACT showcase on the 10th and the Shark City BIG Showcase on Saturday December 13th with all drumlines.
