MECA in the Community
This summer MECA held their 2nd World's Fastest Drummer Contest. To allow for more winners and to encourage more participants MECA had two versions of the contest; Singles and Freestyle. Participants were first seperated by gender and then by age. The age groups were 10 and under, 11-16, and 17 and older.
Preliminary rounds of the contest started in late June at the Arts in Bartlett Festival. July continued our contest with a preliminary round being held at our Huntley store location. Despite being rained out at the Kane County Fair, July saw lots of action and allowed us to build momentum into August. Bartlett National Night Out, MECA's South Elgin store location, South Elgin Riverfest, and Lake in the Hills Sun Set Festival all played host to the final 4 preliminary rounds of the contest during August. The final round was also held at the Lake in the Hills Sun Set Festival on August 31, 2008. Though a hot and humid afternoon, winners from all the preliminary rounds throughout the summer showed up to see who infact was the World's Fastest Drummer.
