Hi All,

TEXAS BIG BEAT WILL BE COMING UP SOON!!  I AM WORKING HARD TO GET A HEAD START ON THIS BECAUSE I KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO KEEP MUSIC IN SCHOOLS!!!!

TEXAS BIG BEAT WILL BE HELD ON SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2011!!!

Hundreds of drummers all get together for a common goal to drum up dreams for our less fortunate children of today.  We all get together with full drumsets to play for this charity.  We also link up with more than 15 different cities all for the same goal.

I want to thank all of you who have supported my drumming efforts to support this organization year after year.  This is our 5th year and many of you support this effort each and every year.  THANK YOU!

The Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation keeps music alive in our schools and communities by donating musical instruments to under-funded music programs, giving youngsters the many benefits of music education, helping them to be better students and inspiring creativity and expression through playing music.

We believe that kids thrive when given the chance to learn and play music. Putting an instrument into their hands improves the quality of their education and their lives. The window is brief and all kids deserve a chance to play music in school!
