Music Drives Us Stays Local for a Grant Site Visit

4/11/2018

On Wednesday, April 4, Music Drives Us made a visit to Norwood High School in our hometown of Norwood, MA! Norwood Public Schools Fine Arts Department was awarded a grant to enhance the band and orchestra programs throughout the public schools.
​
Norwood Public Schools has an inventory of school-owned instruments that are loaned to students at no cost as part of an effort to make quality music education accessible to all. However, they wrote to us that they were in need of some instruments. Music Drives Us provided a keyboard and amplifier, a concert snare drum, a field drum, concert bells, 10 plastic trombones, 2 violas, 4 cellos, and viola bows.

During our visit, the string and wind ensembles performed a number of songs for us. We were blown away by the talent of these young musicians! Keep up the good work!

My cousins produced a film called "Chet's Last Call." While looking at the amazing GuitArts at Norwood Day, I noticed one had a Chet's Last Call Logo on it. I thought maybe you might be interested in this film. I emailed Dan Vitale, the producer of the film, and the lead vocalist for the band, Bim Skala Bim, about your guitar and Music Drives Us. This was his response:

We are doing a Boston premiere of the doc on Oct 21st at the Regent in Arlington.
20% of all film profits will go to drug and alcohol counseling. The film is getting some great reviews already.
We made it for an amazingly low budget and we need help taking it to the next level. We are hoping you and Ernie
may be interested in helping.

Passing this along to you in case this might be of interest to you.

Thanks for what you are doing to keep music in our schools.
