Rancho del Rey Middle School Proud New Percussion Ensemble

Rancho del Rey Middle School has a new music teacher. Well, new to them anyways. Mr. Fred Lee has been around the South Bay music department of the Sweetwater Union High School System for over 25 years, and now it is RDR's turn to experience his brilliance.

Last Wednesday night parents and community leaders were treated with musical delights by Mr. Lee's Jazz Band and Advanced Bands, but last night was a real treat. Last night Mr. Lee unveiled his true passion... The Drum Line...

Until this year, RDR Middle never had a percussion class. By next semester Mr. Lee hopes to double the size, and eventually hopes to get them competition ready and compete against other schools. After seeing the small group last night and hearing their magical sounds, I have no doubt Mr. Lee will accomplish his goals.

Mr. Lee, the new pied piper of RDR... hummmm
