Students to help launch Dreamer Project
Thirteen Yards to Victory is planning to travel the country in 2010 promoting their I'm an American Dreamer project, which is raising money for art and music education programs. The band's I'm an American Dreamer project has been endorsed by the late Sen., Edward Kennedy, who wrote a personal message to the band members two weeks before his death. Kennedy wrote that the project "demonstrates the band's strong commitment to helping America solve its most pressing challenges by putting their talents to work for communities across the country." District officials hope the students are inspired by the work being done by their peers. The five band members in Thirteen Yards to Victory are all between 18 and 22 years old. "This group and what they are doing is unique," Stephanie Boice, district music curriculum leader, said. "It'll be interesting to see how it all works out with the kids. The band members can relate to high school students, Most of them were there not that long ago." More here and Here Watch the video on the Capital News 9 Web site here
