Talk:Adventist Youth Honors Answer Book/Recreation/Drumming & Percussion

'A drum corps within the local church can build excitement among the youth and make them enthusiastic about being in the church. It effectively dispels the "church is not cool" myth. A drum corps that performs in the community raises the community's awareness of the local church in a positive way. A drum corps may be the first contact an individual within the community has had with the church. Though this is unlikely to make a person think "Hey, I ought to start going to church" and show up the next Sabbath, it will give them a positive association so that when a subsequent contact is made (such as an invitation to an evangelistic event or a health seminar), it is more likely to be met with success. Also it helps marchers stay in step.' -Schmidt C. Prince
