You can jam as a fam. That’s the theme of the Indianapolis-based Bongo Boy Music School’s scheduled visit at 6 p.m. March 6 to the next installment of the Columbus Area Arts Council’s free First Fridays for Families series at The Commons, 300 Washington St. in downtown Columbus. School leaders do more than entertain, they encouraging youngsters attending an event to bang a drum slowly, quickly, or however they are moved at times. The group’s previous local visit drew one of the largest crowds ever for the series. Information: artsincolumbus.org
