Folks,
I am the sponsor of our high school's "Guitar Club," which boasts about 150 members (I've taught radio & TV production for the last 16 years, was the system Teacher of the Year this year and a finalist for STATE TOY, too!!..but I digress). All of the kids have to do a community service project, and they have come up with holding a 'Battle of the Bands' event to benefit the South Georgia Animal Shelter (which is a pretty good group to support).
I am an old shredder from the 80's, but pretty much out of touch with any gear or companies that might be able to help me put together some cool prizes to give away to the winners of such an event in exchange for their being listed as the sponsors of the event.
This will be the first time ever anyone has tried something like this around here...and I'll admit I was skeptical to begin with. Well, lo and behold if the kids haven't sold nearly 2,000 tickets at $3 a head for this thing...and still more coming!! So, we are going to be able to make a $6,000-$7,000 contribution to help these folks help these poor animals (one of the jobs on this earth I simply cannot imagine having to do every day and keep my sanity).
If you can steer me to anyone you think might be good to contact in regard to some gear, please shoot me an email to ryoung@thomas.k12.ga.us and let me know how to get in touch with them.
Roth Army, as one who is proud to be counted amongst your ranks, I salute you!!
