Get Rhythm! Programs - Special Events and Festivals

Get Rhythm in Special Events

Get Rhythm! for Special Events

 

A Get Rhythm! celebration is designed to bring together large groups of people with diverse backgrounds to experience the unity and community created by interactive rhythm making.

Magic happens even for participants who feel they are rhythmically challenged. A Get Rhythm! event will long be remembered for its ability to empower people to use their own rhythmical spirits in a playfully cooperative, interactive and fun-filled celebration.

Special Event Applications:

  • College and University Events

  • Community Sponsored Public Events

  • First Night - New Year's Eve

  • Sporting Events

  • Corporate and Family Picnics

  • City Arts Festivals

Get Rhythm! for Festivals

 

Get Rhythm! creates a fun-filled participatory musical event providing drums for up to two hundred participants of all ages to create an exciting, interactive community drum circle celebration. Musically accessible to everyone, a Get Rhythm! event creates a dynamic, rhythm-charged group experience that becomes the highlight of any festival.

“I actually anticipated great success with ‘Get Rhythm!’ based solely on the concept, John’s enthusiasm, and my own love of drumming…if you hear the beat, you just have to join in.  We promoted it as just ‘one way to work off the morning’s coffee,’ but also emphasized the team-building aspects, and the general fun to be had…  You could tell by watching the makeup of the crowd just what I wanted to get out about Panoply in general – if you think it’s only for kids, then you must include kids who are currently retirees and grandparents…  We definitely want John BACK!

The presence of the ‘Get Rhythm!’ Program at Panoply 2007 added such a wonderful feature to our festival that it is the first thing you hear people talk about when they tell you what they loved the most. His passion for rhythm and willingness to transfer it to others could be heard throughout the park the whole weekend.”

“Get Rhythm was an incredible addition to City Stages in 2006. The drum circle represents everything City Stages is about – community, communication, music appreciation, and fun! We look very forward to continuing our relationship and featuring Get Rhythm at this year’s festival and for years to come”.
