Murfreesboro Community Rhythm Event
June 21, 2017 @ 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm
The Murfreesboro Community Rhythm Event will take place on Make Music Day, Wednesday, June 21, starting at 6:30 p.m. at Old Fort Park between the playground and outdoor tennis courts. It’s free to participate and everyone is invited to come join the session, or to spectate. Participants can bring drums, shakers, tambourines, wood blocks or percussive instruments of any type, but even those who have no instrument may come out and use one in the Everybody Drum Some collection.

Wednesday, June 21, is Make Music Day, a worldwide celebration of music that started in France in 1982, which also coincides with the summer solstice. Ross Lester, the man behind Everybody Drum Some, uses this day to continue an idea started last year to encourage anyone and everyone to come out and join in a group percussion session, regardless of their experience.
“What’s amazing is that from the beginning of the evening to the end of the evening is the whole group really grows together in their ability to communicate musically,” Lester said.
