Our Grand-daughter attends PVPrimary. Check out StebalDrums.com. I am a drummer and for several years Stebal Drums and other 5 Star Drum Stores sponser an annual event called Big Beat. The money raised buys drums and other instruments for schools whose fundinmg may prevent replacement or repair of instruments. Check out their site and PLEASE feel free to mention my name. I've been dealing with John and his crew for years. 2 of our sons and one of our daughters drum as well. I hope this is of some help to you. Thanks
