Dear Friends,

We are grateful for you! Thank you giving your time, attention, voice, or financial support in the past. Please see the reverse of this letter for some stories and examples of where your donations went!

As we proceed through uncertain times, our program and students have continued to walk their journey with us armed with dedication, responsibility, pride in their collective work, and the traditions that got us here. These traits will help them become successful adults, but our ability to continue providing these experiences is in jeopardy without live concerts and income from those ticket sales.

The program has continued to evolve by embracing the new and expanding our digital footprint. We finished out our successful Marching Band season providing much needed entertainment to the community. Concert Ensemble rehearsed throughout the fall, while the staff and students stepped up following new guidelines and logistics to make sure we could still gather together. While the recording of our 2020 Holiday Bells, Mallets, & Drums concert was cut short due to rising COVID cases, we were able to pivot and create a celebratory video. It featured old favorites and celebrated our 25 years of holiday music, while also adding 2020 digital creations, and what we were able to record of our wonderful current students that are still creating art in dark times.

Your continued financial support is essential, now more than ever! The everyday needs of Mt. Lebanon Percussion’s award-winning ensembles, and the support our students get through our lesson scholarships require outside funds to supplement the generosity of the Mt. Lebanon School District. This Honor Roll Campaign is an opportunity to show your financial support for the hard work and dedication these young musicians and dedicated staff contribute to our community and rich history of Mt. Lebanon Percussion.

Thank you for your support of this wonderful music program benefiting the youth of our community! We hope to see you all again soon and celebrate the joy of live music together!

With many thanks,

Amy Bahm & David Bahm
Co-Presidents, Friends of Mt. Lebanon Percussion

Jeremy DeLuca
Director of Percussion Studies

The pandemic forces us to adjust how we provide performance opportunities to our students and how we share them with you all.

For our winter concert, we celebrated 25 years of our Holiday Bells, Mallets, & Drums Concert Series with a FREE hour-long video that was watched by thousands!

We were again proud to be featured as the background music for the KDKA Free Care Fund Telethon. This year, with your help we raised $2,000, adding to our total of $24,000! Our donation was made in honor of alumni parent Jane Alcorn.

While we were unable to visit our favorite retirement communities this Holiday, our students wrote over 250 cards to the residents. We were also able to share our Holiday Video Celebration with hundreds of residents spanning every local residence we have performed at.

We are preparing for our 37th Annual “An Evening of Percussion” Concert Series. Our plans include a week-long recording session followed by a LIVE outdoor concert in front of the Fine Arts Theater!
Being able to play in front of a live audience safely is an exciting opportunity for the students that we are all looking forward to!

We are able to provide our yearly educational masterclasses again to our students throughout the district this semester due to your generosity!

Students across grades 4 through 12 continued to make music from their home during quarantine.

Check out our social media and the PLAY@HOME section of our website to see some of our student’s creations!

While the pandemic cancelled our annual Evening of Percussion Concert Series, we were able to highlight our 2020 Senior Class and presented them with a heartfelt video from many of our alumni!

Our staff has created a PERC101 video library as a supplement for our elementary curriculum that will join our already popular Enrichment Ensembles!

Our brand new website gives us the ability to share even more music and stories with the community and world!

Marching Band has continued with new health and safety guidelines. We are able to provide new performance opportunities for our students this fall and a sense of normalcy we are all missing.
