COVID-19 UPDATE:

TO OUR HIGHLY VALUED CLIENTS:

We hope this post finds you well, and we want to express our heartfelt appreciation for all that you are enduring during this crisis to keep your people / our drum circle participants safe!

In response to recent announcements from LA County DPH and Public Officials, the Wahlbangers Organization has officially extended POSTPONEMENT OF ALL THERAPEUTIC & RECREATIONAL DRUM CIRCLE EVENTS through FEBRUARY 2021.

At a time when our programs are needed more than ever to assist with potential mental health issues such as anxiety, stress, and loneliness, it breaks our hearts that we've had to postpone or cancel hundreds of drum circle sessions (so far) with our groups of veterans, seniors, nursing home residents, adults and youth with developmental disabilities, and children in elementary schools and Head Start/ preschool programs.

Wahlbangers facilitators have been on this forced hiatus since March 2020, which is the longest period of time of inactivity in our 10 years of services, and we really miss our drummers! We eagerly look forward to the time when we can all safely gather together again to share joyful rhythms, bang out stress, and re-establish socialization with your communities.

As always, we are committed to maintaining a safe and healthy environment for our drum circle participants & their staff, as well as ourselves. Our current plan of action is the most prudent and responsible approach to mitigating potential health concerns for all involved in our activities.

To that end, we have purchased medical grade sanitizing products for our drums & percussion, we are reconfiguring set-up & spacing ideas for our various groups, and we are exploring several "Zoom"-type options as a stop-gap measure for some online interactive drum circle presentations.

We invite you to keep in touch with us via email or social media. We appreciate that many of you have checked-in during these past months, and we welcome updates from everyone regarding changes in your agency's status.

Take care, stay safe, wear a mask!
