The Glen Este Classic Car Show at
Glen Este High School was a huge success this year. While admission to check
out the cars is free, donations are accepted as all proceeds go to help the
Glen Este band programs.
I must admit that I have something
of a vested interest in this as my nephew, just finishing up his first year at
Glen Este Middle School, is now involved in this musical program. He plays the
drums. Naturally a boy who wants to beat on things. And he is pretty good at it.
A ton of research shows that kids
who are involved in music score higher on standardized tests and tend to have
higher scores all the way around. They also have a good social life. “One time,
at band camp…..”
All of my kids were involved in
music throughout their school careers. My oldest was even courted by the famous
Ohio State Marching Band as he was an excellent tuba player. They wanted him to
“dot the I.” Along with my daughter and other son, my kids have had the
opportunity to travel and perform all over, including Carnegie Hall,
Washington, DC and Orlando, FL. In my book, supporting school musical programs
is always a good endeavor.
