Last year we discovered that our clubhouse large auditorium, which is notorious for it's echoing qualities, is the perfect venue for a percussion concert. It's an absolutely amazing experience, the floor, your chair the very air in there becomes part of the drumming experience. This year Japanese style Suzaku Taiko Drummers and the African Style Ashe Drum and Dance Company are returning as our feature performers. This is an exciting way to invite the community into our clubhouse to celebrate local artists and Arts.
Lure of the Drums is a fundraiser for our clubhouse renovation and maintenance needs. The clubhouse is 80-100 years old [we added on 6000 sq ft in 1928] and there are many fix-its awaiting in a building this age. One of the fix-its is toning down the acoustical echo in the large auditorium.Our initial project is to replace vertical blinds, installed in the 1980's, with heavy sound absorbing drapes on the eight 5ft. by 8ft windows. That's over 200 yards of fabric and lining.
