A huge thank you to @jdrumzz for donating professional mallets and concert sticks to Mr. Hudson's percussion students today! Johnny Gentry, a former student of Cheatham Middle School, generously gave back to his community today where he first cultivated his love for the drums. Now he is a professional drummer in Nashville! He is truly an example of what it means to follow your dreams.


Thank you again, Johnny! Check out our story to see more. So cool!
