We Got the Beat is a fun, interactive, hands-on, musical experience for students in 1st to 12th grade from the greater Fresno/Clovis Metropolitan area.  Lead by local musician and educator, Brenda Myers, WGTB is made up of four distinct programs:  Adventures in Drumming, Summer Drum Camp, We Got The Beat Youth Percussion Band, and Beyond the Beat.

The mission of WGTB is to provide a comprehensive musical experience for children that enriches both the individual and the community. Our vision is to develop music appreciation, performance skills, and proficiency on diverse percussion instruments while providing life skills that will take children well beyond their WGTB experience.  We promote creativity through improvisation and composition while teaching responsibility, cooperation, leadership, and teamwork through instrument care, practice, solo, and group performance.

To become a member of our year-round group, students must attend the Summer Drum Camp. Afterwards, if the student and family enjoy participating, they are welcome to try us out in August and see how we fit in their schedule. If everything works out, a commitment for a full school year will be made to our program.

We Got the Beat is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that serves Fresno and its surrounding cities.
