Dove Elementary School's Dove Dynamic Drummers were a hit on the Main Hummer Stage at Grapevine's Main Street Days.
Texas Music Project sponsored their performance, provided custom T-shirts and made a $500 donation to the Dove Elementary School music department.
The Dynamic Drummers program at Dove Elementary School combines 3rd, 4th or 5th grade elementary students and involves percussion,
musicianship, teamwork, responsibility, athleticism, stamina, cooperation, and confidence in an organized ensemble setting.
A TMP Tour Event.
