September 5 A community drum circle is an opportunity to relax, have fun, and be inspired while making music with others. Feel free to bring your own drum if you have one. If not, there will be a few instruments available to use. All ages and abilities are welcome, although children under 16 must be accompanied and supervised by a responsible adult (accompanying adults are expected to join in). There's no need to register in advance. A $5.00 donation is suggested (adults only). The Hopkinton Community Drum Circle will meet the first Saturday of each month, beginning September 5th from 8:30 AM to 9:30 AM at Grace United Methodist Church, 61 Wood Street, Hopkinton, MA. This drum circle will be facilitated by Barbara Paquette of Whitinsville, MA. Barbara has a degree in music and has been playing percussion for over 40 years. Grace UMC is wheelchair accessible.
September 6 Please join the Hopkinton Veteran’s Celebration Committee on Sunday, September 6, 2009 as we join thousands of communities across America for a remembrance ceremony at the Clinton Street Cemetery in Hopkinton, Massachusetts. The Committee is hosting a “Sunday Taps Vigil” starting at 7:00 p.m. The ceremony will consist of a short tribute to American soldiers, veterans and their families and is expected to last 15 minutes. The ceremony will include the sounding of the 24 hauntingly beautiful notes of “Taps”. “Taps” traditionally serves two important purposes. At military outposts around the world it is played in the evening to signal the time for quiet, rest and reflection after a day of duty. It is also mandated by the Department of Defense to be sounded live by a bugler, if possible, at the funeral of each and every American veteran as a final tribute to that individual veteran’s honorable time of service to his or her country. An average of over 1,600 American veterans are laid to rest each day. Hopkinton has held this ceremony, on the first Sunday of each month, since it was initiated in March 2004 by the national non-profit organization Bugles Across America. Since the ceremony was first proposed, over 1,500 communities across America, as well as in Canada and several other countries, now participate.

The seminar will focus on the audition. She will use current scripts from film and tv projects to film you and then review it together. Students will learn some business of the business. The primary outcome is a better audition, an awareness of what producers and directors are seeking and what they see when they see you. After the children's class Anne will meet with parents for 1 hour to discuss the business end from a parent perspective. Where to go, resumes, how to get your child seen ect. Also on hand will be Rich Gazoorian, ESL's official photographer. He will be taking headshots of all participants.
