We have since attracted additional members bringing our number to 15.  Our performances usually have at least 10 performers, and each performance lasts 10 to 20 minutes depending upon the routines selected.  We encourage audience participation where appropriate, by inviting young members of the audience to join us on stage after the main performance, and drum with us when it is possible.
