Theater Classes

Grand Blanc Youth Arts is partnering up with local theater teachers to offer music theater classes for children in the community. Children will develop acting, drama, and singing skills through various music theater numbers that will be showcased in a public performance for friends, family, and community members.

Drumline

The GBYA drumline is a percussion ensemble that features the standard drumline instruments that you see in most high school marching bands but is open to elementary and middle school students. Children will learn to read and perform basic rhythms and drum rudiments on their specific drums. They will collaborate with the entire ensemble to play fun drumline arrangements that they will share with the community through public performances.

Marimba Band

4th-8th Grades

The GBYA Marimba Band is a percussion ensemble featuring various sizes of Zimbabwean-influenced marimbas and a drum set. Participants learn specific parts of songs on their marimba while other members learn different parts. Together, the ensemble combines these parts into fun and upbeat music that they will get to show others.
