November may bring colder weather, drab vegetation, and sunsets before 5pm, but it also brings my birthday - and this year it's a big one, ending in 0! It would mean so much to me to celebrate this milestone with you all. There will be drumming, dancing, and cake! NO gifts please, but feel free to bring something yummy to share.
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 Streets. Since it's a Sunday, parking is free.
● There will be a wide selection of percussive instruments for anyone who needs to borrow, but you're encouraged to bring your own if you have them. Didgeridoos, Native American flutes, rhythm bones, etc. are also welcome.
● Several folding chairs and stools will be available, but you may want to bring your own for maximum comfort.
● You can arrive at any time (doors will open at 1:45pm) and leave when you must.
● There will be a short social/snack break in the middle. Water 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! 😉
● As always, please remember to remove your street shoes upon entering, in respect to the guan which Eliot has so graciously been letting us use for the MDC. 🙏
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 and some new ones too! 🪘🪘🪘
Thanks!

P.S. My actual bday is just 3 days before the MDC.
