Goal

To enhance our JROTC drum corps so that we can provide better ceremonial support to our community
 

What will be done with my students

We will use the new Drum Carriers to greatly improve our drum corps. In the few years since we formed our drum corps (with support from Champions for Learning), student interest and participation has been amazing. Also, the number and quality of events we have been involved in has grown too. This past year we supported the NAMI walk, Naples Christmas Parade, American Heart Association Heartwalk, Lake Park Elementary School, the Military Officers Association and Independence Day events in addition to other local organizations. Everyone loves the performances and they wish we could do even more. We have up to 30 cadets who are interested in the Drum Corps but we simply don't have enough equipment. We now have a wonderful volunteer who is training our kids to become so much better than they have ever been before. He has directed a number of drum lines and is moving us forward in a professional manner. The cadets love being in Drum Corps and supporting our community. 

Benefits to my students

The Drum Carriers will allow us to train and perform with more cadets than we can now with much higher quality. We do not have enough carriers on hand, and the ones we do have are old and unserviceable. Four years ago we received a grant through the Champions for learning to get our drum corps started and we want to do whatever we can to keep enhancing this wonderful resource.
