Friday, March 5 marked the third drum circle event at Rollins. The Office of Multicultural Affairs first teamed with Jason Isla and his company, Giving World Percussion, during the Martin Luther King, Jr. celebration week. Friday's event was the first in a new drum circle series, reflecting Isla and OMA's desire to continue working together to bring drum circles to Rollins. Giving World Percussion believes that drum circles have the ability to reach the core of human experience through the power of music. The company strives to "help individuals harness that power and promote a more harmonious community"(www.givingworldpercussion.com). Giving World Percussion and OMA share these goals. Drum circles help build community, promote collaboration, and encourage fun. Students, faculty and staff all attended the drum circle in front of the Olin Library; they enjoyed the warm, sunny day, had some fun, and tried something new. There will be another drum circle in April, so be on the lookout! For questions, comments, or more information, visit the Office of Multicultural Affairs or www.givingworldpercussion.com.
