| Percussion Students with Guests Norman Weinberg and Rick Dimond |
The weather is cooling off but the percussion class and steel band performance schedule is just starting to heat up! The steel band has already performed at a Hendrix College football game, given a concert performance at St. Luke's Episcopal Church in North Little Rock, and partied with the crowd at the Heights Third Thursday celebration. Dr. Norman Weinberg visited all the percussion classes for a week-long residency in September, culminating with a beautiful performance of Toru Takemitsu's Raintree. Below is a list of our upcoming performances. We hope you can make plans to join us!
