SWE Band Field Trip
The 6th Grade band recently visited the Rhythm Discovery Center in downtown Indianapolis for their 3rd quarter activity. The Rhythm Discovery Center is a hands on percussion museum with instruments that visitors can play from around the world! The tour guide integrated music, science, and social studies as our Spartans toured the museum. Among many other interesting instruments, they got to see the first known drum set, a lego drum set, and a one of a kind vibraphone made out of asteroid fragments! Our Spartans also had fun making music in a drum circle! After playing the 8 foot gong drum and putting her ear on it, Bryn Pfanschmidt said, “I think it felt very weird on my head. It kind of felt like it had sent shivers down my spine from the sound waves.” Ellie Gosser commented that she “liked that most of the instruments were hands on and that everyone got to try them out.”
