Thank you so much for including Sheehy students in the One drum, One heart program! It was an uplifting experience for all of us and we appreciate the opportunity. I was very proud of our kids. This was their moment to shine and they really did...They will never forget you Jana. Thanks for believing in them and for helping me to believe once again.
Peace, Maggie Vlasits

"It really made it a
memorable festival."
From a letter written to Tampa Mayor Pam Iorio:
"Pam, in 57 years of my life, I do not know of any event, show, or presentation that involved more 'crowd join-in' that her's. I sat there for two hours and watched as hundreds of passersby, young and old, black and white, boys and girls, men and women, stopped and joined in on her 20 or so drums. The rhythm was inspirational, the smiles and laughter was many. It was a treat and crowd pleaser. Her expert use of drums, and her encouragement to all to join in was wonderful. I hope to see and hear her again. She did Tampa and its citizens and visitors true justice of satisfaction."
