[John] Culmination at Northtown H.S.

Jason Wolf and I finished up our residency at Northtown High School in Chicago.  The school is part of the Urban Gateways CEP program and has an international theme, so it was a nice fit for our world percussion workshops.  After visiting and studying many cultures like India, Brazil, Guinea, Japan and Cuba, each class chose a culture and performed it as part of the school's "Culture Fest."  

Here is the video of the Ms. Rousakis' class.  They chose to rehearse and present Brazil.  The students selected the country, helped build the arrangement, divided up the instruments and led each other in the performance.  Nice job guys!
