My Students

These highly talented individuals have built a strong sense of commitment and dedication to the marching arts. They have continually stepped up to the demands that have been asked of them in this always evolving activity.

In addition to the commitment to time and expectations, they continuously exceed the standards set for them in all aspects of their education - not just the music and marching exceptions.

My students always strive to do their best during every single rehearsal as if it was their last performance. We look to improve each and every time we are together.

Although this is a highly competitive activity, our philosophy is to compete with yourself first. Be a better musician and person today than you were yesterday!

My Project

Electronic instruments are widely used in the marching arts and we are in desperate need of these personal monitors so our students can hear themselves!

These personal monitors will make it easy for the students to hear themselves in the ensemble without having to use headphones!

The best way for an electronic keyboard player to hear themselves is to have their own audio monitor.

These small personal monitors will fit right on the cart next to the keyboards so the students can hear themselves playing every note without having to tune out the rest of the ensemble to hear themselves!
