"I just wanted to remind you if you haven’t seen the posters and ads that Arts Council is having a concert here this Saturday night at the Majestic starting with the buffet at 6:00p.m.  We are sponsoring Cool Shooz.  They are truly a fun group and sing all types of music accapella with no instruments.  Their voices are the instruments.  We had them here once before and they gave a wonderful concert.  Tickets are $37 which includes your meal, the concert, and a fun night out on the town!  Please tell anyone you know and invite them to come, too!"

Thanks for your support!

Thad Beach will conduct a week long “Songsmith” workshop. This five-day residency includes 15 classroom workshop sessions, a school assembly program and one community outreach program with the residents of Park Lane Nursing Home and Park Place. Children are guided in exploring the songwriting process, picking a topic of local Kansas history, heritage or culture, conducting their own research, creating questionnaires and conducting oral history interviews with community members in order to write an historical ballad.

Richard Pitts
April 5, 2011
Roots of Rhythm: Stories with a lot of Soul! Pitts continues the tradition passed down to him of sharing stories and drumming that illustrate African American history and culture. The stories represent how enslaved African Americans survived during the early years of our country and they also represent how racially diverse Americans came together to destroy slavery. What makes his performance unique is how he brings the audience into each story; having them actively involved in the singing, clapping, and deciphering the tale or song. He strongly believes it is through participation that people remember what's important.
The high school will participate in Community Drum Circles. A Drum Circle is where Richard provides drums for a group of students and teaches them how to play. As the facilitator, his main role is to provide instructions and teach a few rhythms. Once a few beats are learned, the drum circle plays along while Richard shares a tale!

Local school students in the arts – music, theater, and drama, will showcase their talent this year at Park Lane Nursing Home.
