FX SERIES GOES BIG WITH RON BROWN, Mt Pleasant drum line CHECK OUT HIS STORY!
This group of youngsters and their percussion instructor, Ron Brown, overcame lots of adversity and odds to accomplish some very special things, both personally as individuals and as a group. You will learn how some of the kids overcame social anxiety issues by being a part of the band experience, and hear Mr. Brown’s near-death as a police officer while in pursuit of a drunk driver.
Mr. Brown also had installed KickPorts in all the drums; basses, and snares. Even the judges said that the ports made a huge difference in the clarity of the drums, the articulation of the players. Mr. Brown used these properties as a training–and motivation–tool for the kids to sharpen their playing.
There were so many obvious stories here: lessons in teamwork, perseverance, drumming, the underdog prevailing – including gratitude for the program from the parents, and how these programs can be for all kids. We loved the story when we heard it on the phone, so we decided to visit them on the day of their last performance of the season and hear their story live.
