What a treat! Strike Percussion drummers

Wow! What a great performance. On Friday, we had an opportunity to see Strike Percussion Band play live at our school.  


We even got to see polynesian drums in action. It was a treat to our ears. 


Fire beat! This was very different. Using fire to create beat... All I can think of is 'Create and Innovate' good use of our Habits of Mind here.



Some children got a chance to play live drums for the whole entire school! Great job!
