1st Annual International Percussion Exposition Festival Celebrates Maine’s Cultural Diversity; Past and Present
(PRWEB) June 18, 2006 -- The IPE is organized by Primary Skills Art Institute; an Augusta based non-profit organization that offers innovative multi-cultural arts educational services. Recognizing the need for understanding of cultural diversity in the changing faces of Maine, PSAI works for individual and community understanding of the rhythms that unite all people.
Our ethnic and cultural awareness and exploration programming draws on Maine's rich and diverse communities, past and present, so that we may provide integrated cultural arts activities throughout the state. Our presenters come from throughout Maine and include Native American, European American, and West African Cultures. They are collaborating to bring forth programs that promote physical, cognitive, emotional, psychological, environmental and cultural well-being, along with integrated community awareness.
The presenters at the 1st Annual IPE include; "The Little Eagles" a Native American youth drum group from the Passamaquoddy tribe; "The Koko Experience," a traditional multi-ethnic, poly-rhythmic percussion, music, and movement ensemble; “The Burnurwurbskek Singers”, a men’s drum group from the Penobscot Nation; "Mbira dzimu;" “Sugalis” a young women’s drum group from the Penobscot Nation; and “Ngomah," a traditional West African percussion ensemble located in Down East Maine.

Drum Movers
Depending on what you store in your 55 gallon drums, there are a number of different ways of ensuring that you make the best possible use of space within your storage areas, and there are a number of options open to you during the planning stages. Oil drum racks allow drums to be stacked vertically on top of each other (ideal for non reactive and inert liquids), or horizontally on specially designed stacking shelves. This second option is better for liquids that you do not want to have stacked directly one on top of the other. Which ever option you choose for your storage solution, using the proper drum movers to get drums into their final position is essential if you are to avoid doing damage to systems or causing accidental spillages.
