Yesterday the Staff and students went to Portland to see the Pirates in action against the Worcester Sharks! We even got a personalized welcome from the Pirates!!
The entire game was packed full of entertainment and not a dull moment was found by any of us and everybody enjoyed the game..except the part where the Pirates gave up the game winning goal to the Sharks in the sudden death overtime.
Today we received a visit from Annegret Baier, a teacher and performer of West African Percussion. Annegret discussed how she came into drumming and where she trained, and taught the staff and students the style Kpanlogo, the drumming style from Ghana, West Africa.
The students involved all enjoyed their time and created some incredible sounds with Annegret and the ALTC Staff!
Thank you Annagret for a wonderful afternoon! We hope to have you back to our School again!
