Back by popular demand. We have another BEAT THE DRUM Charity show
coming up. It will be December 22nd @ Bhojanic Indian Restaurant
(www.bhojanic.com) 404-633-9233, 1363 Clairmont Rd.,Decatur, GA
30033. Doors open @ 11:00 showtime is shortly there after Proceeds
($10.00 cover charge) go to Drumming for Success
(www.drummingforsuccess.com), Dr. Arvin Scott's motivational youth
program that teaches kids drumming & goal setting for success in
life. The kids that enter the program get a drum on loan, then when
they their reach their goals in the program the drum is theirs to
keep. BTD is Drumming for Success' main fund raiser, these funds go
to purchase the drums that are used and given to the kids, among
other organizational costs. We've had quite a few young drummers
come through that have the potential to be musicians and the program
kept them out of trouble and able to focus on something contructive
like drumming.
Beat The Drum is an interactive drum show led by Dr.Arvin Scott.
Everyone is invited to play (if you want) with Dr. Scott and his
students. We have some extra drums available. We play traditional
West African, Afro-Cuban,Afro-Haitian... rhythms. We also do some
improv pieces and just let it go where it wants to.This is a semi-
structured show. Dr. Scott conducts the drummers and the attendees.
If you don't want to play then just sit back, relax and enjoy some
Indian Tapas, a cold beer and some great rhythms.
We raffle off door prizes from Sabian, Latin Percussion & gift
donations from other people & businesses. The GRAND DOOR PRIZE of
the raffle will be A HANDCRAFTED WEST AFRICAN DJEMBE DRUM! So you
could go home with anything from, drum sticks, to shakers, caps,
gift certificates, CDs or a DRUM! Always good chances of
winning something!
Please fwd. this to anyone who you know that may be interested. Come
out, support a good cause, eat awesome Indian food, win something
cool, BEAT THE DRUM... it's cheaper than a shrink!
Let me know if anyone has questions or wants more info. I've got
videos of previous BTD shows, audio, pics, links...
Thanks for your time, take care all, see you there!
