Recently, when Teaching Artist Josh Dunigan asked a few drummers what keeps them coming back to the ACTion Drummers - many drummers have been with the group for nearly a decade. This is what the group said (responses have been summarized):

⭐ ACTion Drummers is an opportunity to be involved in our community

⭐ To play drums in a group

⭐ We come to drumming for the friendship

⭐ The ACT family

⭐ Love of drums

⭐ The happiness we feel creating music together

BEST DAY EVER — DOCUMENTARY SCREENING

What if the outdoors truly belonged to everyone?

Best Day Ever follows adaptive mountain bikers Greg Durso and Allie Bianchi as they navigate the daily challenges of disability—and discover joy, connection, independence, and belonging through Vermont’s mountain biking community.

Set against the stunning Green Mountains, the film explores grit, creativity, and what becomes possible when a community comes together to remove barriers. At its heart is the world’s first fully adaptive trail network, built on a simple idea: everyone belongs outside.

📍 1130 Wealthy St SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49606
📅 Wednesday, October 14, 2026
🕖 7:00 PM — doors open at 6:00 PM
🎟️ FREE — optional donations welcome

Come experience an inspiring story of adventure, inclusion, and the belief that there’s a place for everyone on the trail.

Everyone belongs outside. 🚵
