SYTA Youth Foundation

Going on our trip to the Percussion World Championships in Dayton, OH was a life changing event in the lives of my percussionists. Just being able to leave our small town and experience the road opened my students eyes, not to mention that now they want to practice more and their enthusiasm has been brought to a whole new level. We are looking forward to our next trip.
