My personal message:

It's that time of the year again where drummers unite for a good cause. I won the drum set the first year I participated in the Texas BigBeat. And last year I won another set and donated it to a local school. All because of you all and your kind generosity.

Your support would go towards The Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation which donates new and refurbished musical instruments to underserved schools, community music programs and individual students nationwide, in an effort to give youngsters the many benefits of music education, help them to be better students and inspire creativity and expression through playing music.

Your support would be appreciated whether a small donation, cheering thought that day or maybe even registering you or a loved one. Hopefully, you can be a part in some way and hopefully we can also break the Guinness Book of World Records!

Thank you.

Joanne Balagtas
