Interactive Assembly by Luis Garay Percussion World 

·      Friday morning, 2/22

·      Luis Garay’s percussion ensemble will introduce Nottingham Knights to the rhythms of the Americas and Africa.  Argentina-born Mr. Garay is renowned not only for his musical scholarship in classical, jazz and Afro-Latin percussion, but also for his ability to share his excitement for the drum with a young audience.

In addition to these events, we will have daily trivia questions and dedications during morning announcement and additional in-class Music Masters lessons to make it a fun celebration of music.  There are lots of volunteer opportunities to get involved.  Please keep your eyes and ears open for more information on Knights Take Note! via Friday Folders and Nottingham website.
