We invite you to join Drum Brothers and friends for a weekend filled with rhythm, fun, and heart-felt community. We're excited to be offering this special fall event at Boulder Hot Springs - our fifth gathering at this great location! Whether you're just beginning to explore the drum or already a seasoned player, join us as we celebrate the joy of community music making and the beauty of fall in Montana.
Boulder Hot Springs is midway between Butte and Helena just of off Interstate 15. BoulderHotSprings.com This historic hotel has all the necessary comforts: cozy rooms, great meeting spaces, a talented in-house cook staff and dining room, and of course, some of the best restorative hot springs found anywhere. There are private women's and men's baths, plunges, steam rooms, and a hot springs heated outdoor pool. It's going to be a memorable weekend in the perfect venue to celebrate the crisp fall season.
Our time together will be filled with morning song circles, West African hand-drumming classes for all levels, African dance, and evening celebration circles in the Grand Old Dining Room (get ready to drum, dance, and sing). We'll also have some Saturday afternoon free time to relax, hike, or dip in the healing waters!
We will begin our circle with an evening meal at 6:30pm on Friday, Nov. 8th. The gathering will continue until 3pm Sunday, Nov. 10th. We encourage you to register early to insure your place. Call 406-531-8109 or email Matthew@drumbrothers.com with any questions.
We hope to have you with us.
