A few days ago, we were fortunate enough to hear some great news about one of our gym members...
After statewide consideration, our very own assistant instructor Michael Clupper (1st Dan) has been exclusively chosen to the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association (PEMA) 2011 All-State Jazz Band for his extraordinary skills on the piano. Michael will be joining several other talented musicians for a concert in Hershey, PA in April. Out of the whole state, only one was chosen, and we were more than excited to hear it was Michael.
Michael Clupper has been training under Bill Hammond for nearly nine years. He has risen up the ranks of both the youth and adult classes. Time and again, he has proven his dedication and indomitable spirit, inside and outside the dojang.
Congratulations, Michael!
