EVERY AUGUST GARY WOULD HAVE A PARTY FOR HIS STUDENTS. AROUND 50 DRUMMERS WOULD COME AND PLAY THE NEW BREED SYSTEMS. GARY WOULD SET UP AROUND 8 KITS & PERCUSSION INSTRUMENTS. DIFFERENT DRUMMERS WOULD BE AT EACH KIT PLAYING DIFFERENT PARTS AND SINGING!!! AT ALL TIMES, ALL 8 KITS AND PERCUSSION WERE GOING ON, ITS WAS INCREDIBLE! GARY WOULD OFTEN CONDUCT WHICH WAS A HIGHLIGHT AS HE POINTED OUT EACH DRUMMER TO TAKE SOLOS OR AT ANY GIVEN TIME, TELL EACH DRUMMER TO SWITCH GROOVES, "NOW SING THE RESTS" "NOW SING THE MELODY LINE". "NOW SING THE BASS LINE" AT THE DROP OF A HAT!! GROOVE NEVER STOPPED AS DIFFERENT DRUMMERS TOOK OVER DIFFERENT KITS! IT WAS AMAZING!

IT WAS A TIME TO CELEBRATE, A TIME TO SHOW YOUR CHOPS FROM THE LESSON OF THE PAST YEAR! EVERYONE REALLY LOOKED FORWARD TO THIS PARTY AND EVERY YEAR IT WAS A HUGE SUCCESS. IT WAS GARY'S WAY OF SAYING THANK YOU FOR ALL THEIR DEDICATION! THESE PICTURES YOU'RE ABOUT TO SEE ARE ONLY SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THOSE PARTIES THROUGH THE YEARS, ENJOY!
