• This is the 10th anniversary of our humble percussion studio. Over the last 10 years, students from our studio have made the All-State Band 37 times and have been alternates 21 times. Over 25 students have received music scholarships and this time next year five former students will be working as band directors. Additionally, four students have used their tallents to march in Drum Corps International. This success is attributable only to the hard working students I have taught over the last 10 years. Thank you all so very much.
