King Cobras Drumline Rocks Out at Chicago Public Schools

On September 27th, the King Cobras Drumline, a program of Cavaliers Arts, Performance & Education, Inc. sponsored by the Village of Rosemont, took their talents to Northside Learning Center. Here, they put on an energetic and lively interactive performance with Northside students. Northside Learning Center is a specialty school within Chicago Public Schools serving students with disabilities, ages 14 to 22.

Northside principal Liz Mourtokokis stated that she wasn’t sure how Northside’s population of students would react to the interactive drumming session. “But they were so participatory: singing along, drumming, really learning how to drum appropriately. It has been the best experience for our students.”

The Rosemont-based King Cobras have presented their drumming program to many Chicago suburban participants. This program at Northside Learning Center marks our first visit to Chicago Public Schools. Continuing to expand our presence across Illinois by way of visiting new locations and launching the King Cobras Color Guard are signs of exciting things to come for our organization.

The work and support of many dedicated and selfless volunteers power our King Cobras Drumline and Color Guard programs. If you’d like to learn more about King Cobras or are interested in contributing to the growth of these programs, use the links below!
