A shameless plug for the Ernie Ball Company - THANK YOU!!!

[TentHunter]

I just wanted to give a shout-out to Big Poppa & Danielle at the Ernie Ball Company.

Some of you know that I am the percussion instructor for our local school district. I also help with guitar and bass guitar lessons for the kids in jazz & pep bands as well.

Back at the end of January I contacted Big Poppa and Danielle (at Ernie Ball) to ask if they could help our Jazz Band programs with some badly needed strings for our guitars and bass guitars.

They gladly obliged and donated $200 worth of strings and guitar picks, and as soon as they arrived, we put them to good use!



Here are just a few pics I've taken over the past few months of both the high school and middle school kids using the strings.

The High Schoolers practicing with the new strings.

The High School Jazz band at the Tri-Arts Festival in back in March.

Next: Some pics of the Middle School & High School jazz bands at our Jazz Spaghetti Dinner fund raiser this past Saturday.

This is my favorite shot...

The kid playing drums in this shot happens to be my son.

Thank You: Big Poppa, Danielle and everyone at Ernie Ball!!!

Sincerely, Cliff

That is awesome! I am a lifetime EB user... have all 7 of my guitars strung with them.

Great show of support for the kids!

Another reason for me to like Cliff/Tenthunter... I am a lifelong drummer myself!

I dabble some on guitar, too. Ernie Ball all the way!

Awesome! As a semi-professional sax player I love to see people contributing to keeping the arts alive. Nice job, BP!
