Rockin’ Robins Summer School takes place at Derby Market Place from Tuesday 17th August - Thursday 19th August. The three days will be jam packed with all things drums and give participants hands on experiences like never before!
Each day starts at 10AM where participants will join their bands and the day will begin! Activities and workshops will run until lunch and then participants will be able to eat a packed lunch and socialise with others on the course. The afternoon will then be filled with more drumming fun and the day concludes at 3pm.
Once the course has finished on Thursday 19th, friends and family are invited back to watch participants perform a showcase of what they have learnt over the 3 day course. The Showcase will begin at 6:30pm with 6:00pm doors. With each Summer School place booked, you will receive two complimentary tickets for the performance. Additional tickets will need to be purchased separately.
