We would like to hold a coordination meeting to determine who is interested in joining us for drumming and dancing classes and how much time everyone has to commit, and how many times a month we would like to meet.

If you are not familiar with the location, take your best rout to 9400 South and 300 East.  The School is located on the north west corner.  The cafeteria and gym access are both on the east side of the building.  We are not yet sure where we will be meeting so check both of the northern most entrances.

I'm too far away to be of any help tomorrow.  But I hope to be up for
Twelfth Night, and several days both before and after.  I'm on a bit
of a crusade to get SCA folks frame drumming -- have tar, bendir, riq
and daf, will travel.  (Also have tammora and tamburello, but those
are for my Italian side.)

For those not familiar, the instruments I'm talking about:

Tar:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4lFmkxGvUc&feature=related
Riq:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hwox0T3613Y&feature=related
Daf:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1NufA0WgMQ
Tammora:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8TToOUBcZE
Tamburello:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9eumfaFjhw&feature=related
(sorry, I couldn't find a decent clip of traditional bendir)

And I live <10 miles from the factory outlet for Remo drums, so think
of me as you frame drum connection.
