Hi Sherry-
I hope things are going well for you. I saw your note on the list serve 
and checked out the videos. They look great.
We're beginning to think about afterschool audiences but from a natural 
history perspective things sometimes look a little different.

However, in a strange cross pollination moment, I saw the listing for 
the cuica which relates to insects in a a strange way. I learned from a 
local professor who studies entomology and is an amateur musician that 
certain types of insects make sounds the same way. Wanna add it to 
"going further" if I can give you a more detailed description?
