All-Gender Drum Circle: BYOD

Friday All-Gender Drum Circle: Bring Your Own Drum (BYOD)
Join us for our next all-gender drum circle on Friday, July 18 from 6:30-8:00 p.m. for an exhilarating evening led by Moss.

Get ready to get creative and groove together in a drum circle like no other! Bring your own drum or percussion instrument—or choose from the many available at the Center. Anything goes: a box, a bucket, a piece of metal—if it makes sound, it belongs in the circle!

We’ll build rhythms that fit whatever instruments show up, and Moss will lead the group through fun, spontaneous grooves that work for all experience levels. Come ready to explore, improvise, and connect through rhythm!
