Inspired to Create a Go Go Band

William "Ju Ju" House (EU) and Geronimo (Trouble Funk) did a go go workshop at Anacostia High School (DCPS) for a music class on Thursday, February 7.  The students were so excited that now they want to create a go-go band and incorporate go-go into their drum line. Even the principal joined in.
