This trip is offered primarily to our Talented English students and is extended to pupils who have demonstrated excellent effort in their English lessons. Stomp is a high-energy, percussive symphony, coupled with dance, played entirely on non-traditional instruments, such as garbage can lids, buckets, brooms and sticks. The experience should give students an enjoyable experience and provide them with an insight into how rhythm can be used in performance.
