Shark City Drum Corps

The Curate 757 series explores the thriving art scene in Hampton Roads. Each week, the program features an area artist. Each person works in a different medium - from painting, to sculpture and photography, to the spoken word. Each episode originally aired as a part of the parent “Curate” series, which also offers profiles of national artists.

Season 7 Episode 11 | 6m 15s | CC

Chesapeake’s Shark City Drum Corps, led by Frederick Dixon, provides students an opportunity to flourish and grow and create meaningful community connections by teaching them how to play drums and preparing them to perform for the public. Their drum lines have won multiple awards for their performances and sent multiple members onto college on band scholarships.
