CSGreen Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Not sure where to post this, but we could really use the support of the Drum Corps Community on this one: Adamson HS Band is up for 2 Grants, one for $2,500 and one for $100,000!Voting is live! Please vote once a day everyday in October!$100,000 would change my student's worlds! It would finally put enough instruments into the hands of ALL my students, and update some very poor instruments into quality! Please share this email and the links inside with everyone you've ever met! 😊 Encourage them to vote daily in October, so everyone get 31 votes! There are 15 finalists and 6 receive the grant. I am the only finalist from Dallas, there are two from Houston, and the rest are all over the country. We are the only High School Band on the list!Christopher GreenW.H.

Pete Freedman Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Good luck with this. I voted for you, but also a bunch of others! (Multiple voting is allowed.) Would you potentially consider a SoundSport / WGI Winds / WGI percussion effort? Or something on a traditional band circuit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSGreen Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) Thanks! We are currently in 3rd, and only the top 2 win the grant. We do have a WGI Winds group at the school, and the alumni group is starting one as well that will be local this year (NTCA/WGI Regional) http://www.dallasnews.com/news/community-news/best-southwest/headlines/20151023-what-would-100k-get-for-the-adamson-high-band.ece Edited October 26, 2015 by CSGreen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
