Musicians from Drum Cafe USA, a national organization that brings interactive musical experiences to schools and teams, visited Fredericksburg Elementary School on Friday, Sept. 26. At left, Alseny Sylla, master drummer, played the djembe; Dale Monni, Cafe USA founder, led students in drumming a rhythmic beat on their own drums, and multi-percussionist Noah Mosgofian set the rhythm on dundun drums, snare drum and cymbals. The group included FES fifth graders and Harper Elementary School fourth and fifth graders. The event was made possible by a grant from Pedernales Creative Arts Alliance. – Photo by Lindsey Bacon Pansing
