We used parts of drums from several schools to build a small preliminary drum line set. Now we want to have official drums in addition to enough equipment to allow more students the opportunity to participate in the drum line. Students can continue their love of music through middle school to high school and on to college. Students that excel can even receive scholarships for their musical talents. With your donations we can give intermediate level students the opportunity to participate on a performance drum line. Statistics show that students that participate in musical organizations perform at a higher level on standardized tests than their counterparts.
