A
Lincoln-Way Central Knights drumline alumnus has recently
donated $6,000 worth of Zildjian Cymbals to the Central Music
department.
Adam Weems, a 1987 Lincoln-Way graduate and a former member of the Knights
drumline, is the current Manager of Education for Avedis Zildjian Company,
Cymbal Makers Since 1623, in Norwell, Massachusetts.
In a letter addressed to Eric Wellman, Knight band director, Adam wrote: "Inside
these boxes are a number of Zildjian Cymbals that, as a Lincoln-Way Central
Marching Knights alumni, I am very happy to be able to donate to the
program. As the Manager of Education for the Avedis Zildjian Co. it is
part of my job to try to help programs that are deserving and will represent
our company only in the best light. I believe that Lincoln-Way Central
has been and will continue to be a strong program and only provide the
best musical experiences for the students. If it were not for my involvement
in that program, I would not be where I am today."
"We are thrilled with this wonderful donation for our music program.
Adam was a member of the Knights drumline, when current drum line instructors
Keith Tulk and Scott Robinson were also on the Knights drumline. These are top
quality instruments and we are very grateful for this generous donation to our
music program," said Stacy Williams - Jackson, Music department chair.
