The University will kick off Homecoming weekend with Recycled Percussion, recently seen on America’s Got Talent. The group will perform at 8:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 2, in the parking lot in front of the Koehler Fitness and Recreation Complex on Main Street.

There is no cost to attend the performance; community members are welcome.

Remarkable hard-rock drumming led by the world’s “fastest extreme drummer” Justin Spencer and intoxicating hip-hop funk grooves spun by turntablist “DJ Pharaoh” create music that is sophisticated and technical in construction, mesmerizing in execution and a fist-pumping thrill to experience.

Recycled Percussion’s insane live performance is considered to be the peak of on-stage percussion extremity. Performing on everything from their signature “trash” kits — including plastic buckets, huge ladders, mortar casings and giant 50-gallon containers — the band of two drummers, an electric guitarist and a DJ keep the audience on their feet through 80 minutes of spark-emitting, masterfully played power tools, plus a mind-blowing beatbox “vocal artillery” session, backed up by chest crushing, power-driven, sweat-drenched drumming. 

The University will host a variety of additional events for alumni throughout the weekend. Visit www.findlay.edu, Keyword: alumni, for more details.
