Support Drum Corps
|
The primary purpose of the Grant Wood All-City Drum Corps is to provide learning
opportunities for all children in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. We emphasize both musical and academic
learning. Our goal is to prepare all students to be lifelong learners, responsible
family members, and productive citizens.

During the school year, students meet at school from 3:30-5:30 every Monday, Tuesday,
Thursday, and every Saturday morning when possible. On Tuesday and Thursday, learning
zone takes place. Students receive tutoring and small group instruction from volunteers
who are local college students, Grant Wood teachers, and parents. Saturdays are
used for Drum Corps drills and for performing community service projects such as
planting trees. |

The Grant Wood All-City Drum Corps is a grass roots effort that started in my basement
and grew into what it is today; a group of 100+ multiage students from 14 different
schools. We work closely with the Oak-Hill Jackson Neighborhood Association which
was an outgrowth of Drum Corps. Our parents are involved in leadership roles giving
at least 700 volunteer hours to the school each month.
