About

Buckets N Boards will provide an outreach performance in the early afternoon on Friday, April 5th for 378 4th and 5th graders of the Sauk Prairie community. These children will be transported in from four different elementary schools from our local and surrounding rural areas. This interactive show will provide those kids a top-quality, accessible for all abilities concert, while also motivating these young students to pursue the performing arts within their specific schools. It will also bring a no cost show for all Sauk Prairie youth.
Buckets N Boards will also be performing a same-day, evening show for whole families to enjoy. Both of these performances will provide audiences’ demonstrations of a variety of different percussive instruments, tap dancing, comedic skits, and impressive theatrical experiences.

The framework for thinking about place and identity holistically builds on Yang’s memoir’s structure, and the ways our place’s geology and topography affects ethology.
