Hello, My name is David Kloeckner. I am the Drumline Instructor / Assistant Director at Ralston High School Band in Ralston, Nebraska. While being a Financial Advisor is my full time occupation,

I have a deep passion for music, percussion, and teaching young musicians. This will be my fourth year with the Ralston Drumline. I can truly say that the music program here has a deep and warm culture for not only the kids, but for staff as well.

 

Our Bass Drums are over 12 years old and over the last 2-3 years these drums have been deteriorating rapidly.  Now they are at the point that they are literally falling apart and cannot hold pitch when I tune them. We have four basses currently and are borrowing one from the middle school to make due.

 

Your donations to replace these basses will go straight to the band boosters to secure our purchase order of 4 - Pearl White Championship Marching Bass Drums and Cases. These will be a direct replacement and in-line of what the young adults are using now.

 

I truly appreciate your generosity, no matter what dollar amount, it all counts and helps. Speaking for myself, the Drumline Members, Band Members, Directors, and School, we all thank you in advance for your consideration.

 

I have attached a few pictures of the current drums, a video of the drumline performing 10.9.2021 at a marching competition in Lincoln where the drumline received a 1 rating.

 

Once again, I sincerely thank you,

David Kloeckner
