SUMMARY:After-hours Concert: NIU Steelband
DESCRIPTION:Step into the DeKalb Public Library’s main lobby for an after-hours concert performed by the Northern Illinois University’s renowned Steelband. The concert will be an eclectic program of musical styles highlighting the versatility and profundity of the steelpan. \nThe NIU Steelband is dedicated to demonstrating the versatility and profundity of the steelpan\, the national instrument of Trinidad and Tobago. \nCreated in 1973 by G. Allan O’Connor\, the NIU Steelband is the first active steel orchestra formed at an American university and celebrated its 50th Anniversary on Sunday\, April 16th\, 2023.NIU is also one of the few institutions in the world at which students may pursue undergraduate and graduate music degrees with a steelpan emphasis. \nThe ensemble has performed throughout the United States and across the globe. Some of the band’s most notable appearances include a performance for 18\,000 soccer fans at Yankee Stadium\, tours of Taiwan in 1992 and 1998\, concerts with symphony orchestras (including the St. Louis Symphony and the Chicago Sinfonietta)\, and several performances at the Percussive Arts Society International Convention (PASIC). In 2000\, the NIU Steelband had the distinction of placing 2nd at the World Steelband Festival in Trinidad and represented the USA at the 2002 Seoul Drum Festival in South Korea. \nThe NIU Steelband regularly appears in concert at public schools\, universities\, conventions\, and arts series\, and has many recordings to its credit\, including Dangerous\, which features an eclectic blend of musical styles. \nAfter many years under the leadership of G. Allan O’Connor and steelband legend Clifford Alexis\, the ensemble is now directed by head of steelpan studies and professor of music\, Liam Teague. The band’s instruments are maintained by Yuko Asada\, music instrument technician\, and she also significantly contributes to the daily operations of the NIU Steelband. \nThis concert is free and open to all. No registration is required. Doors will open at 6:00 p.m. and music will begin at 6:30 p.m. \nJah Love Jamaica Food Truck will have food available for purchase outside the library\, including curry chicken\, jerk chicken and pork chops\, and fried plantains with red beans and rice. \nFor more information\, please contact Samantha at samanthah@dkpl.org or at (815) 756-9568 ext. 1701.

SUMMARY:Goat Yoga with Blue Sky Farm
DESCRIPTION:Blue Sky Farm Goat Yoga is looking forward to providing a “bucket list” event at the DeKalb Public Library! Their baby goats love to snuggle\, run\, and jump on you as you enjoy some soul-stretching yoga with their certified yoga instructor.  It may seem silly to some\, but we can assure you the experience is unlike any other. Interacting with any animal is therapeutic\, but combining the beautiful practice of yoga with animal therapy is a joy you will feel deep in your heart. \nEach session will include 30 minutes of yoga\, followed by 15 minutes to snuggle and pet the goats\, as well as take photos. \nThis event is open for ages 12 and up. Attendees must bring a yoga mat or towel (please remember that this item may get dirty). Participation is first come\, first served\, as there is a limit of 25 participants per class. \nThis program is sponsored by the Friends of the Library. \nFor more information\, please contact Chelsea at chelsear@dkpl.org or (815) 756-9568 ext. 1700. \nHere are some details to help you know what to expect: \nWhat time should I arrive for class? Because the class is first-come\, first-served\, we cannot be certain how early the spaces in the class will fill up. \nWhat do I bring?Everyone is required to bring their own (it may get dirty) yoga mat or towel. \nWhat if I don’t normally do yoga?This is a gentle flow yoga class that focuses on many poses that the goats seem to enjoy. You might be surprised how much you enjoy doing yoga\, but you don’t have to be a pro to enjoy the day. \nAre there age requirements to attend an open goat yoga class?Participants should be at least 12 years old for open yoga classes. Participants aged 12-17 must attend with a parent or other adult guardian. \nWhat should I wear?Dress comfortably\, but we suggest you leave the adorable yoga tank tops at home or under a T-Shirt. Sometimes tiny goat hooves are a little scratchy! \nWill goats try to eat my shoelaces and hair?A little bit!  Goats like to nibble just about everything. You won’t get a major haircut\, but bring a hair tie if you have longer hair\, and take off your shoes. \nWill the goats pee or poop on me?Goats are not potty trained.  It happens! \nDo I need to bring my own yoga mat?Please bring your own yoga mat or beach towel. Remember that this item may get dirty. \nWill I need to sign a waiver for myself and/or my child between 12-17?All adults 18 and over are required to sign a waiver. All minors need a parent or legal guardian to sign a waiver. Participants aged 12-17 must attend with a parent or other adult guardian.
