If you missed the PercRoc concert at Kilburn Hall last night, you really missed something GREAT! Wow, I was blown away by the virtuosity of NEXUS, Michael Burritt, Bill Cahn and the rest of the group. Thank you all for creating a percussion concert about sustainability!

You still have a chance to see a PercRoc performance TONIGHT at 6:00 on the Pont de Rennes Bridge! It will be (lots of)drums and fifes and all kinds of great percussion precision out on the bridge. Visit their web site for more information. http://percussionrochester.com

Then, on Saturday, May 2nd, several FREE regional events celebrating Drummer's Heritage Day! Come out to High Falls at 6:00pm to see a 2-hour drumming "muster" ON the Pont de Rennes Bridge!
