Fall Recording Session
On Sunday November 19th, 4 students recorded at Highland Sound. Guitarist Ron Thompson & Bassist Danny Parker were hired to record with the students.

Getting the chance to record with these two seasoned pros was a great experience for the students. They gained great insight into the challenges that recording presents.

See the sound clips page to hear samples from past recording days.

With the endorsements of Vic Firth Drum Sticks and Sabian Cymbals, Scott gave numerous educational seminars in Vancouver area High Schools during the 06/07 school year. Other one day clinics took him farther a-field.
