Music in Motion
The Drumline you are about to watch is from my old high school almamater Saint Francis High School in Saint Francis, Wisconsin!
These students are AWESOME!
If you'd like to watch a movie or two that inspired me and really address the topic of the value of music in school check out these movies at your local video store or library.
Glenn Holland is a musician and composer who takes a teaching job to pay the rent while, in his 'spare time', he can strive to achieve his true goal - compose one memorable piece of music to leave his mark on the world. As Holland discovers 'Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans' and as the years unfold the joy of sharing his contagious passion for music with his students becomes his new definition of success.

This is the true story of Roberta Guaspari (Streep). By bringing the violin into the lives of children in the New York City public school system, she hopes to brighten their difficult lives. It's a story of both struggle and hope.
