LIFE DRUM CORE KIDS AND USC'S PETE CARROLL SUPPORT EARTH HOUR!

The Life Drum Core Kids pose with USC Football coach, Pete Carroll at L.A. LIVE! where they will be performing their original piece "Death March for Fossil Fuel."

As part of the mayor's Earth Hour celebration, the Life Drum Core, consisting of 12 young Los Angelinos ages 7 to 16, will perform an original percussion composition, 'A Funeral for Fossil Fuels' on recycled buckets they've painted in 'green themes.' The Life Drum Core is a music education project that provides professional instruction for Los Angeles students whose schools do not offer music programs. The group is taught and directed by Lonnie 'Meganut' Marshall, a music teacher at the Silver Lake Conservatory and the founder and star of the popular L.A. funk-soul band, Weapon of Choice.
