MDMEF visits Martin Luther King Elementary school and hosts a lively "Concerts in the Classroom" with Microwave Dave and the Nukes!
What a truly exceptional day it was for students of Monte Sano Elementary school. The MDMEF partnered with the Orion Amphitheater to host the first of it's kind "Concert in the Classroom" series with a field trip to The Orion. Students were treated to a tour of the facility and an educational concert by none other than Microwave Dave and the Nukes (Dave Gallaher, James Irvin and Rick Godfrey). Many thanks to Ms. Victoria Jones and Ms. Lania Weldon from the Orion for all of their hard work and to Monte Sano Elementary Principal Mr. Clifford Porter for providing the students with this golden opportunity. Kudos go to MDMEF President and Educational Coordinator Mr. Evan Billiter for bringing this project to fruition. But most importantly thanks to the teachers, staff, escorts and the students who were the real Rock Stars!!!!

Could there be anything more captivating then listening to a harp being payed while tales from Dr. Seuss are being read? I think not and that is actually what Students in K-3rd and 4th-6th grade were treated to at Dawson Elementary today. Harpist, Ms. Catie Wells and MDMEF President Evan Billiter dazzled the students during a Concerts in the Classroom program. “Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.” “Today I shall behave as if this is the day I will be remembered.”
