Classes and Community
Drum Sundays are community events held on Sunday afternoons. These are open to all, including children. This is a facilitated drum circles with rhythms being taught by master teachers. Next year we will begin the event with a brief class for beginners.

Sistah Boom at the Dyke March 2008
Statement: Sistah Boom has been active in support of racial, gender and social justice. We are committed oworking on these issues internally as well as playing kick-ass music! We had an exciting time playing in a scene for the filming of MILK and decided to reconstitute the group. Sistah Boom played at the Dyke March stage on June 28th, 2008, and to also led the parade out into the streets. In August we played at Sistahs Steppin' in Pride. We were proud to play at the memorial for Del Martin in October. We will be playing for the San Francisco Gay Pride March in 2009 To join Sistah Boom for future events, contact Carolyn Brandy.
We wish to thank Barbara Price for her generous donation to Sistah Boom, allowing us to use her beautiful, incredible space -- Montclair Women's Club -- for our rehearsals. Contribution: We pass a bucket at each rehearsal for a contribution of $5-$10 or more per player to help pay Carolyn, our musical director, and take care of expenses, and fund STB. TEE SHIRTS: We had Sistah Boom tee shirts printed. We wear these when playing at events. They will be on sale at the rehearsals, for $15.00. Instruments: We would like women to bring their own instruments if they have ones that are part of our instrumentation. We also have some instruments that can be loaned. We will have a “check out” system for old STB instruments and some of Carolyn’s instruments. Women checking out instruments will be asked to pay a deposit to be held by STB. Our Instrumentation: Bells, (Brazilian) Tamborims, Rattles, Shakers, Snare, Toms, Surdos, and any small percussion instrument that is easy to march with.
