As you plan your participation, please note that safety protocols may dictate some changes from how we have done things in the past. This is likely to be especially true for makeup application and gathering indoors prior to the parade. We will roll with the punches and adapt as needed. Thank you in advance for your flexibility and understanding.
THINK POSITIVE, SKELLIES!!! We're gonna shake our bones again! Please let me know if there are any questions and if I don't have the answer, I will find out or get you to the right person!
Free Drumming Workshop -- Limited to 12 Participants
Enhanced communication skills can result not only in an improved social life, but also better job opportunities in the future. From job interviews to the actual professional world, communication skills are very crucial, and being proficient in English means being able to communicate clearly and effectively.
During this challenging time, we are taking safety seriously. Classroom and instruments will be sanitized after each use. Limited number of students per class so that everyone can social distance. All are required to wear a mask.
