2008/2009 Bank of America Arts Showcase - Rob the Drummer

Thursday, October 2, 2008 - 9:30am

Rob Gottfried is a nationally acclaimed children's motivational educator whose musical concerts educate audiences through a dynamic approach – the drums – to convey a message focused on anti-bullying and accepting ethnic diversity. This "bare foot" percussionist seeks to strengthen life choices through music, sports, academics, and creative arts while addressing the problems of drug and alcohol abuse in school-age children. "Rob the Drummer" has been described as a role-model beacon for today's youth.

All Rhode Island public, private, and parochial school children in grades six through nine are invited to attend the 2008/2009 Bank of America Arts Showcase performances. Admission is free, but advance reservations are required. Reservation requests will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
