OMG! Again?!?!

Tue, Aug 23, 2016Announcements, DrumsDrums, Legally BlondeRalph Zazula

I’m back in the land of pink and the sound of high-school cheers. That’s right, another production of Legally Blonde, the Musical. I’m playing drums again and, luckily, I saved my setup from last time (rig rundown here).

We have a great cast and orchestra at the Hillbarn Theatre.  Come see the show, it runs Aug 25th – Sep 18.
