The recently formed percussion ensemble at Anne Arundel Community College doesn't limit itself to banging on drums with sticks. Members used garbage cans -- and even the floor -- during their exuberant first performance at the college's Pascal Center for Performing Arts on Wednesday. They threw their sticks in the air and caught them. And they were accompanied by young acrobats from Barlow's Acro Troupe. The percussion ensemble was founded by Theresa McKenzieSullivan, who joined the college as a percussion instructor in November.
