[NR] Need input for drum workshop - Ainar and others?

[Maleah]

How about Protectorate??? It's early fall. The second week-end in October
and I can guarantee the Baroness is friendly towards drummers and dancers.

Note:  See Daveed's bio at the bottom of this message.

Although Daveed will be in Tahlequah with Turku in May, there are several
schedule conflicts which would prevent him offering a drum workshop at that
time.  However, he has asked if we would like him to come in the early fall.
If we wait until then, he may be able to participate in a nearby Ansteorran
event, and may even have time to facilitate a drum-building project and do a
family drumming program for parents and their kids.  Ideally, he would also
conduct DrumFest! programs (see below) at one or more local schools (contact
me if you think this would interest your child's school - I'll provide a
DrumFest! brochure) while he is in Tulsa.

This is a wonderful opportunity for us, and I hope many of you will join me
in putting this together.  For now, I need a date to propose to Daveed.
Your Excellencies?  Anyone?
