Drums For All At The Raue Center For The Arts

On February 19 at 7:00 pm Crystal Lake Strikers will take Raue Center For The Art’s stage for a fun-filled, high-energy event that will have you on your feet and stomping along to the beat!  Featuring local drumming superstars, this fundraiser for Crystal Lake Strikers and Raue Center For The Arts was a sell-out last year!

The event will be packed with energy and excitement and will feature a Latin Drum Quartet, a Steel Drum Ensemble, Maroon Man Group, a drum off re-match between Joey Hanley and Bob Blazier, and much more!  In addition, the Tim Althoff Scholarship recipient will be announced.

In 2007, Crystal Lake Strikers was formed by Crystal Lake Mayor Aaron Shepley, Councilman Brett Hopkins and Prairie Ridge Drumline instructor Thomas Kundmann under the motto “have fun and don’t suck!”  Sporting zebra skin drums and bowling shirts, members of Strikers clearly have fun with their performances and are widely acclaimed in parades and performances all over the region, and have even appeared in Chicago’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Admission is $12 for adults, $5 for kids 8+ and free for kids 7 and under. Tickets can be purchased by calling Raue Center’s Box Office at 815.356.9212 or by visiting them at 26 N. Williams Street in downtown Crystal Lake or at www.RaueCenter.org.  Raue Center is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of all through the arts.  They are proud to provide quality programming to and strive to make it pertinent, available and affordable to all.  Raue Center is delighted to welcome you back this year and looks forward to the next years and continuing to “Rock the Raue.”
