Performances & Assemblies
Interactive Performances & Assemblies
Donté and Shar know how to energize and excite a crowd! Whether it’s a school assembly, multicultural event, lunchtime performance, or school based community event, we keep students engaged.
During Interactive Performances & Assemblies we educate students about the meaning behind rhythms and songs, the regions in Africa in which they originate, and students get to be a part of the performance through singing, dancing, clapping, and more!
Music Only Performances
Drums add energy and liveliness to an event. Music Only Performances can be done at different school events including during lunchtime hours.
During music only performances, drummers will be seated while playing traditional African rhythms that invite joy and energy to your school. Although we do not interact directly with the crowd, don’t be surprised if attendees begin dancing to the drum beat!
Donté does not offer music only performances for assemblies or performances for large crowds.
Group Drumming & Drum Assemblies
Group Drumming
Donté and Shar love bringing students and families together. Whether it be a large or small group, we specialize in connecting people using African rhythms.
Group drumming can be offered during school hours as a workshop, to promote community during multicultural events, or even during lunch time where students can stop by and have the opportunity to learn about African culture through drumming.
During Group Drumming, we bring a fixed number of authentic djembe drums for participants to use during the session. We often have students sing and dance during group drumming as well.
*If interested in a theme based workshop, just let us know. Donté has conducted group drumming sessions that highlight themes such as community, workplace development, student leadership, mental health, wellness, Black History Month, Black Student success initiatives, and more!
Drum Assemblies
Get ready for an assembly your students will talk about for the rest of the year! During Drum Assemblies, our team brings hundreds of authentic traditional African Djembes and other African percussion instruments for each student to use during the assembly.
This hands-on experience for students is a great way to promote engaged learning while your students learn about other cultures.
During Drum Assemblies, Donté will guide your students in learning West African rhythms together while encouraging creativity and fun through drumming, dancing, and singing.
This has been our highest rated service because ALL STUDENTS get to use an instrument during each assembly.
