When you hear a drum, do you automatically start moving? At a Chinese restaurant do you start tapping your chopsticks on the table and water glasses? Then you are a natural for the Junk Yard Bucket Band!! Inspired by the excitement of the English group Stomp, the Junkyard Bucket Band (JYBB for short!) will teach basic rhythms and percussion techniques, combined with humor and movement, on all sorts of “found” instruments, ranging from plaster buckets to hubcaps to brooms and newspapers.
