Story - Joint participants who acquired their first apartment and overnight privileges with their child
Promotion - Drum Circles 1 & 2 play "heartbeat" as they move to center stage surrounding the conductor (drummers seated with their profile to the audience facing the conductor) to become a 1 unified drum circle/Orchestra plays promotion theme variation 2.
Graduation
Ceremony - reflection on the program and achievements. Drummers "speak" names with drums
Celebration - Drum Circle Jam
Trading Solos - Drum Circle and percussion solos with orchestral “accompaniment."
The Future
Calm, hopeful, but uncertain. Drum Circle plays three tutti hits each decreasing in volume. This represents the three phases and asks "how will the participants fare as they move further away from the program?"
