Open house scheduled for Steel Magic Northwest - try the drums

Try a drum at Steel Magic Northwest

On Wednesday, May 31, 2017, Steel Magic Northwest will host a "Hands-On" Open House, allowing interested guests to play and hear the steel drums firsthand.

The event begins with the tail end of the Youth Class, which will perform a song while guests can watch up close. Following this will be a learning session where Artistic Director Gary Gibson will teach the guests a potion of a song.

The hands-on activity is open to students from 4th through 12th grade as well as adult learners; parents and other siblings are welcome to observe.

The event is free of charge, and the hours are 5:00pm to 6:30pm in the west wing of Edmonds Adventist Church, 8625 196th St SW, in Edmonds.

Guests are welcome to stay to observe up close the 7:00pm rehearsal of our top youth and adult groups (the Pan Wizards and Mystical Steel) combined. This is a 20-piece steel orchestra in preparation for numerous upcoming summer performances.

Those intending to attend (or those wanting more information) are asked to email the director.
