Support the DCHS Drumline

Help me give my students a new set of high-quality marching cymbals that will enhance our performances, strengthen our percussion section, and elevate the pride of our band program.

My Project

I have helped my Band receive brand new Snare, Bass, and Marching Tenor drums for the new drumline the school has. The DCHS drumline have never had marching cymbals, thus never having a cymbal line. These cymbals will help push the drumline to higher level.

They will also be used for our brand new indoor drumline program, triad indoor percussion group.

They will be used at a competitive level throughout the fall and spring seasons.

Music education is alive and well in our schools helping students achieve their goal of going off to college and pursuing successful careers post-high school.

Help our kids get what they deserve!
