CRYSTAL LAKE – For members of the Crystal Lake Strikers All-Star Winter Drumline, Saturday’s event at the Raue Center for the Arts is the season’s elite performance.

The group is the educational arm of the Crystal Lake Strikers adult drum line and is open to local high school students.

“I really love seeing these kids learn new things and blossom and grow,” volunteer All-Star instructor Dale Hallerberg said. “Learning to perform, building confidence and working as a team – these are terrific side effects of learning how to drum.”
