Sharing of the drum

We were thrilled to bring a steel pan drum to Cross Lake with us as a gift from Micheal Lashley and Itah Sadu. Star Beardy, Mikisew High School's music teacher was honoured to accept the drum on behalf of the school during a school wide assembly.

Thank you so much for your generosity. Pictured below is Micheal Lashley presenting the drum to Downsview students who were so very proud to have been able to take the drum to Cross Lake, with Principal Bruno Berto.

Students at Mikisew's open mic night try out the steel pan as Raven and Abby from Toronto explain where the drum is from and how to play it. 

 Ana MacKay, Mikisew Principal gives the steel pan a try during the presentation.

The steel pan and a classroom set of snow shoes from Jim Adams at MEC were presented to the school at the assembly.
