As in the past, the proceeds from Woodstick support a worthy charity. This year the net proceeds raised supported saving the Parkland School.
Woodstick was created by Chris Kimball back in 2003 with the help of Donn Bennett. This event has brought some of the greatest drummers and raised thousands of dollars for many causes over the years. New owner Donn Garrett hopes everyone had an enriching experience and enjoyed a day of Drumming all while Saving Parkland School.
Gregg Bissonette, Tony Coleman, Rich Redmond, Emily Gould, Jeff Kathan, Chase Culp, Marco Bicca, Paul Higgins, Chris "Wombat" Womble, Ray Audette, Carl Martin, and a great lineup of Alumni Drummers as well were in attendance.
