For our eleventh grant of the year, we are thrilled to fund a new drumline for The Pride of Metuchen Marching Band. These modern and matching marching battery percussion instruments will support correct technique, musical precision, physical safety, and performance confidence, while also enhancing school pride and community engagement by strengthening the quality of performances at games, parades, competitions, and community events. We know that a strong, well-equipped marching percussion section elevates the overall performance of The Pride of Metuchen and reinforces Metuchen High School’s reputation while fostering a shared sense of pride among students, families, and the broader community. Thank you to Band Director, Mr. John Messenger, for dreaming up this idea and Principal Porowski for supporting it! We can’t wait to hear the heartbeat of the Pride beating on these new instruments next year! 🥁
