The Concert Band had a special treat this morning with a visit from Yamaha percussion clinician Matt Savage.

He worked with our freshman today on elementary drum circle techniques and taught us a lot about rhythm and how to listen in an ensemble. We all had a great time, as you can see in the pictures below:
