DRUM CLUB
Last week concluded our TCS Drum Club. This group consisted of 5th through 9th graders, and was SO MUCH FUN! The students learned about different drumming genres from bucket ensembles, to ancient African drumming circles, to contemporary ensemble drumming. We concluded with a parent performance, where all of the parents were participants. Parents, we hope your chopsticks were as much for you as our drums were to us. Special thanks to Dr. Kathy Brown! Here’s to a bright future for TCS drumming, and continuing to build the Arts at Trinity! Go Lions!
SOUTHERN STAR BAND FESTIVAL
On Friday, March 25th, our 7th & 8th Grade Band and our High School Chamber Group both performed at the Southern Star Band Festival at Six Flags, Atlanta. The students received encouraging feedback as well as critique that will help them perform at higher and higher levels. The experience was certainly educational and enlightening to each of these students.
Then on Saturday we went to Six Flags for a day of fun together and the closing ceremony of the festival that evening. We had so much fun at the park and then celebrating a job well done! It’s great to take trips again as a band, and we look forward to more of these in the future, for sure.
FINE ARTS FESTIVAL - VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
TCS Family! Trinity is excited to once again be the host church for the 2022 District Fine Arts Festival April 8-9! In order for this to be a success, we would like to invite you to volunteer one or both of these days to help greet, serve/sell food, or grill for our fundraiser lunch.

If you are planning on volunteering that weekend, we will be hosting a Volunteer Training Lunch immediately following the morning service at Trinity Church on Sunday, March 27 at 12:00 in the Gathering Place (elementary lunchroom). This is where we will be sharing with you some important information about how our church family can effectively host churches and students from all over the state.

MIDDLE SCHOOL DRUM CORPS
The Middle School Drum Corps has become a highlight for 6th through 8th graders. This is the training ground for our future Varsity Drum Corps members once these students reach High School, and is a lot of fun! We rehearse and then perform at all Middle School home football games.
This summer we plan to rehearse as middle school only (not together with the Varsity Corps). We will have a separate set of dates this summer to prepare for the upcoming season. More information to come. Interested? Please fill out the form below:
