Instrument making and parades liven up any festival!
Great FUN for Festivals
GO GREEN with Rhythm FUN!
Make a shaker from a can or tube . . . a drum from a detergent bottle . . . a whistle from a cone. We bring all kinds of resonant reused/recycled materials for instrument making and for decorating these fun instruments. We lead the parade and everybody gets to strut their stuff! We bring a van load of resonant recycled/reused materials and fun materials to decorate instruments. Our facilitators make it easy for you – we handle all set up, clean up, and supervision of our tent, plus we lead kids and adults in instrument making and rhythm games throughout the day.

Your festival participants will get to create their own creative-reuse percussion marching band instruments, learn some funky marching beats and march and play in our Rockin’ Reused Percussion Parade. It’s a lively community expression of music! And a great idea for creative and sustainable reuse. Participants use reused/recycled materials to create personalized percussion drums, shakers, guiros, kazoos, whistles or anything you can march and make music with.
