susan -

I was approached by s musician from metropolitan wind symphony, yesterday,
while teaching at Natick. He is on the Grafton committee for FIRST NIGHT.

They want to have a Community Drumming event - drum circle - on first night
in grafton.

DrumConnection might do it - and begin with a short "performance" to raise
energy, before startying the group.

Or not - and there anre many in the area who might want to be involved.
Alan thoiught EarthDrum (drum&dance) people did firstnight in grafton.
Guess not, or my contact person was unaware.

In any case - it would be good if you and others in the area consider
joining the effort.

Plans are unclear.
My contact person says he will be in touch with alan

Just wanted to communicate and get ideas going.
