I'm excited to announce the next Maynard Drum Circle! We have the option of drumming outside if the weather is nice, however, if July is anything like the past few days, we will want to cool off in the A/C. My comrade Eliot Prisby, the owner of Metrowest Kung Fu, is allowing us to use his kwoon/guan again, so let's treat it with respect by taking off our street shoes upon entering, and helping to clean up once the drum circle ends.
Now for the details!
● The MDC is a freestyle drum & dance event. No hand-drum or dance experience is required, and all skill levels are welcome!
● The cost is $5 per adult. Kids 12 and under are free, but require adult supervision. Accepted forms of payment are cash or Venmo.
● There is ample street parking, as well as the "basin" parking lot flanked by Summer, Nason and Main Steeets. Since it's a Sunday, parking is free.
● There will be some extra djembes and other percussive instruments for anyone who needs to borrow, but you're encouraged to bring your own if you have them. Didgeridoos and Native American flutes are also welcome.
● Several folding chairs and stools will be available, but you may want to bring your own for maximum comfort.
● Drumming will start by 2:15pm and go til 4:30pm. There will be a short social/snack break in the middle. You can arrive at any time (once doors open at 2pm) and leave when you must.
● Water, summery non-alcs, and snacks will be provided, though you are welcome to bring something to share if you'd like.
● I will be raffling off something drum-related, TBD - you'll just have to come to the drum circle to find out! 😉
Please invite anyone (on or off Facebook) who you think would want to participate! RSVPs are encouraged so that I have a rough idea of how many people are coming and how much food to bring.
Please don't hesitate to reach out to me (MaynardDrumCircle at gmail dot com) with any questions.
I hope to see lots of familiar faces at the July MDC, and some new ones too! 🪘🪘🪘
Thanks!
