March Miracle Drumline at Norup

We threw together an impromptu drumline for the recent March Miracle assembly at Norup. I firmly believe this event is probably the single best things we do at Norup, so I was happy to get to be a small part of it. The drummers who participated include 8th graders Mitchell Hart, Zach Lask, Aaron Mitton and Gabe Hessenthaler, and 6th grader Delano Hitson. All are members of the lunchtime "Rock Club."

Here are some pictures (thanks Ms. Smith!):
