Another show in the Kids and Company Series is set for 6:30 p.m. Monday at the Townshend Theatre, located at the Fort Frances High School.
Envirodrum, a percussion group comprised of professional musicians who have a passion for music and an eye for engaging performance, will take the stage as the next performance of the series that aims to introduce children and their families to a wide spectrum of entertainment.
According to the group’s website, Envirodrum was formed in 2009 and has performed in more than 200 schools, festivals, and at private shows for corporate companies.
The founder of the group, Jeff Salem, is a professional percussionist from Toronto, Canada. Salem yearned to spread environmental awareness in his community and felt strongly that if he appealed to the young generation he could start a grassroots movement. His way of spreading that awareness was simple: percussion, the site said.
Each Envirodrum show has many interactive and entertaining moments wherein the group performs different styles of music while delivering environmental statistics in a way that is easy to understand. Envirodrum uses strictly recyclable products as percussion instruments including plastic, metal, glass, wood and paper products.
To compliment their rhythm section keyboards and vocals were added to create the best performance possible.
For those who do not have a season pass to the Kids and Company shows, tickets to Monday’s performance are $10 and are available at the Fort Frances Public Library, Betty’s, Revco Carpet, Coffee Landing Cafe and at the door. Children under the age of 3 get in free.
