The Hickory Music Factory’s drumming studios offer a yearly drum set concert for HMF students. The Drum Expo takes place on the front lawn of the Hickory Music Factory and serves as a mid year recital for students to perform. “EXPO”, is short for EXPOSITION, which means talent show. Students will pick a song to perform and practice it with their instructor leading up to the concert. Cost to participate in the Drum Expo is $10 and interested students should sign up through their instructors. The event is free and open to the public to come and watch.
