In Fall 2013 & Fall 2014, we brought professional musician and “GLEE” guitarist Derik Nelson & his team into high school auditoriums across the west coast for a professional-grade pop/rock concert with his band. In addition to the high-tech concert featuring a 20-foot-video wall, big sound and integrated light show, we provided a one-hour inspirational/educational assembly for the student body during the day. We spoke on creativity, self-discipline, out-of-the-box thinking, college planning and career prep, anti-bullying, setting goals, following dreams, and our tour’s theme: what it means to “Take Chances.”
We've reached over 10,000 students through this program. The fundraising component we provide with the concert (which all schools took advantage of to benefit their arts programs: in some cases, doubling their annual allotted department budget) resulted in tremendous positive impact to their school from the surrounding community.
We are currently open to sponsorship, grants, and endorsements in order to continue touring in our mission to give back to schools. Please contact the Tour Manager, Riana Nelson, if you're interested in partnering with us at tour@deriknelson.com .
