Performed and taught percussion in the Portland area for 20+ years. Currently co-owner of a bicycle retail/repair business. Cycling accident in 97 sidelined all playing for over a decade.

Cheers-- Hi, Beth, I haven't heard of an alumni-type groups in the Portland area, but I know of a couple in Seattle if you don't mind driving a couple of hours north. One os Pacific Alliance. You can find them by clicking here: Pacific Alliance Kevin Nordeen is the drum coordinator, and you can contact him at Kevin Nordeen The other one is not-so-hardcore and is called Thunder Clam. Their director is Jim Nevermann, Phantom Regiment drum caption 1970-74. They primarily do parades, but they're fun. You can contact Jim at Jim Nevermann. Good luck!
