Friendswood Library Drum in the Sun

On March 23rd, the Friendswood Library hosted its first Drum in the Sun drum circle.  For about an hour, children and adult patrons alike expressed themselves through rhythm.  Those who felt inspired improvised freely over the established beat.  Drum circles are a great way to bond with people from all walks of life. Drum circles have a host of health benefits including stress relief, minimized social anxiety, and greatly enhanced well-being. Drum circles are also beneficial for  Parkinson's Disease, The Immune System, and Depression.

Drum in the Sun is open to everybody including absolute beginners.  Feel free to bring any hand percussion, shakers, and triangles.  Homemade shakers are welcome as well.  Fill a soda bottle or a plastic Easter egg with dry rice, seal it up, and shake away!  Some percussion will be provided.  Please do not bring a snare drum or drum set. 

Join us on Friday April 26th at 4:30pm for our next Drum in the Sun session!!
