My Students
The group of students I work with are members of our drumline, most of them are some of the hardest working members of our program. The students we have are some of the most energetic kids I have ever worked with and they are a very hungry group of kids that want help rebuild this program back up to it's former glory. We have a strong commitment to excellence here and we push the kids to be the best they can be in and out of our program.
During our 2018-2019 school year we have a number of big plans for this program, some of them we could't have dreamed of doing with this group in years past.
This year the students will be competing all over Norther California and if we play our cards right also Southern California.
My Project
The drum stands we are getting is to insure that the students don't continue to hurt themselves by wearing these large drums for an overly long period of time. Many of our students are small in frame and it is hard for them to carry the drums for hours at at a time unlike our other band members who play horns. These stands will also help us with our new Jr. high School marching drumline, which will consist of mostly 6th through 8th graders. By helping these students and making sure they have the equipment they need to have a very very successful season and future with our marching program.
