Juneteenth celebrations kick-off the day with a dynamic performance and procession led by the Hamilton-Garrett Drumline!Established in 2022, the Hamilton-Garrett Drumline is a percussion and horn ensemble for Boston youth aged 10-18.
Hamilton-Garrett’s mission is based on preserving and celebrating marching style drumming within Black musical traditions – pulling from the New Orleans second-line, historically Black colleges and universities, and African Diaspora folkloric traditions.
Drumming has a lot of significance to the history of Juneteenth, when it was used during the Civil War as a form of resistance, and communication.
Come experience this chorus of drums, and imagine what they might be communicating to each other!
