The drummers at Long Lane Center for Girls established an impressive performing group over the last two months. They participated at functions in Connecticut and Massachusetts. Some highlights included getting to play back-up for AJALI at the Bloomfield Drum Festival, performing at the New England Network Conference in Shrewsbury, MA, and performing for a crowd of 500 people at the United Way victory celebration luncheon held at the Pratt and Whitney Hangar in East Hartford. Drumming performances provide an excellent incentive for youth to work harder in developing their drumming skills and also to expose them to various community functions. |
Public appearances are especially important in raising the performers confidence and showcasing their talents. Hard work and dedication of the girls in this program really paid off as they successfully completed the professional recording of their group CD. The girls were happy to finish this project just before the Christmas holiday. The CD will be released in late January.
