On Saturday, February 25 at 7:00 pm, McHenry County’s youth will shine at Raue Center For The Arts in An Evening of Percussion featuring the Crystal Lake Strikers All Star Drumline.
Talented drummers from around town will come together for a show that’s packed with energy and excitement! Entering its third year, this annual fundraiser for Crystal Lake Strikers and Raue Center is always a hit.
The Crystal Lake Strikers formed in 2007 by Crystal Lake Mayor Aaron Shepley, Crystal Lake Councilman Brett Hopkins and Prairie Ridge Drumline instructor Thomas Kundmann. Their goal was to provide a performing outlet for drummers of college age and beyond as well as support and educate aspiring young musicians. The Strikers award scholarships to high school performers pursuing music.
The All-Star Winter Drumline is the educational component of the Crystal Lake Strikers. High school drummers from several different area schools make up the all-star group that performs at various events across the Midwest. They are instructed by the adult members of the Strikers.
An Evening of Percussion is a fantastic night of music that features 13 different acts. In past years performances included things like a drum-off between a 5 year old and his dad. This all-ages show is a fun and affordable night out for the whole family.
Tickets are $12 for adults, $5 for ages 8 and up and free under 7. They can be purchased online at RAUECENTER.ORG or via the Box Office at 815.356.9212 or 26 N. Williams Street in downtown Crystal Lake. An Evening of Percussion is sponsored by Northwest Herald.
