Wednesday, 03/20/19 - The drumline was recently contacted by CBS affiliate KRCG - 13 for this Wednesday's morning show (03/20/19)! The producer had read the press in the local papers and wanted to bring us on in recognition of that as well as the fact that March is Music In Our Schools Month (support music education...making music makes you smarter!). Here are some links to some of the media captured today:
