We're thrilled to join the roster for the BCM Maker Faire! Make beats with us! 

Wondering what a Maker Faire is? From engineers to artists to scientists to crafters, Maker Faire is a venue for #makers like me to show hobbies, experiments, and projects. We call it the Greatest Show (& Tell) on Earth - a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity, and resourcefulness. On September 17, glimpse the future and get inspired! I can’t wait to see you there! #BosMakerFaire17http://boston.makerfaire.com/

Encouraging participants to experiment with beats, harmonies, and melodies, the drumming cart will be be equipped with the tools needed to make music on the spot!

It will be free and open to the public, encouraging all to explore their creativity through music!
