The

drum shops held the second annual Big Beat. A total of 1202 drummers
participated, along with nearly 3500 spectators at the 11 locations.
More than 4600 pounds of food was collected and $62,500 was raised for
charity, which was $17,000 more than last year!
The
Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation will get nearly $39,000 to purchase
musical instruments for deserving children in Big Beat cities and the
remaining $23,500 will go to children’s organizations and food
pantries in various Big Beat areas.
