This year’s festival is shaping up to be a celebration of creativity, inclusivity, and community spirit, and I’m excited to share a unique opportunity for all of you. As we approach the vibrant Lufkin Heritage Festival, I find myself reflecting on the many wonderful aspects that make this event special—not just for the city but for everyone involved.
“Percussion Pals” is a program I’ve developed to support early childhood education (ECE) and cognitive development. The program runs in small groups of 8 to 10 children, with five engaging sessions conducted within an hour to an hour and a half. These sessions are designed not only to explore rhythm and music but also to stimulate brain activity and enhance executive functioning skills.

In 2002, the moment of growing into the academy. one of the most monumental movies for my existence was released: “Drumline,” starring Nick Cannon. This film wasn’t just entertainment; it was a revelation. At the time, I was living in the small town of Liberty City, Texas, known locally as Sabine. I was part of a humble percussion section of three, dreaming of being on a grand Drumline—a whole different world, a different beast altogether.
We had the good fortune of connecting with Casey Muze and we’ve shared our conversation below.Hi Casey, we’d love for you to start things off by telling us something about your industry that we and others not in the industry might be unaware of?
In my industry, I am incredibly fortunate to possess a unique identity. To elaborate, I am unaware of any other individuals within my field who offer therapeutic services through the art of drumming, like I do. This remarkable circumstance fills me with gratitude, as it seems that a higher power has granted me the ability to foresee the importance of standing steadfastly on my own, without faltering.
