Read our Teaching Artist bios here
Before the advent of sophisticated, high-tech communications, there was the music of the fife and drum. This music was used to signal soldiers in battle, to set the mood for ceremonies, and to raise the spirits of soldiers and citizens alike. Tri-Percussion (with fifer!) brings history to life through music with stories, characters, and replica instruments of the times.
Requirements: Two microphones with stands; PA system; chalk; chalkboard with eraser. Teachers must be present at all times during performance.
