Use the Drums Only for Music

Why This Matters

Respect for the speakers and the audience.

How You Achieve Success

As drummers, we have a source of noise-making that the folks in the audience don't have. It's unfair and impolite to use the drum during the cheers (the "huzzah!") associated with cool announcements.

What You Do

  1. The drum circles might stop playing for announcements. During those announcements, and especially also during the cheers associated with those announcements, avoid playing the drum.
  2. If the drum circle isn't playing a rhythm, keep the drum quiet.
