Thanks, Miss Chrystal and Mr. Eric ! I am looking forward to compete again in the NGD competitions ! Regards.
This little dynamo was a pleasant surprise to us all. She could barely reach the pedals but when she started to play the beats were so on pocket it was almost shocking how advance she sounded for her size and age only to go all the way and win her catagory, it was phenomemal to watch her!!!! We will see much of this little drummer lady in the future im sure of it!!!
