Monroeville is a great fit for students of any age. As the principal of Barboursville Middle School, I try to bring in a variety of entertaining and educational assemblies throughout the year to our student body of nearly 800 in grades 6 – 8.
Monroeville is by far the most outstanding group we have ever had for our students. Not only does their high-energy presentation totally engage the students, they make a connection that goes far beyond simple entertainment.
I have been in the business of educating students since 1973. If I have learned anything over the years, it is that students can spot a fake a mile away. These guys are the real deal, and the students know it. They truly care about the kids, which is evident not only in their performing, but also in talking with the students following the show. They take time to converse with students, and treat each with respect and a caring attitude.
Monroeville performed a concert for each grade level and after each show they stayed around to do an educational session with our strings and guitar students.
In all my years as a principal, this group received a more positive reception than any group we’ve had before or since. Recently, Monroeville performed at the Mountaineer Opry House in Milton, West Virginia and a large screaming contingent of our student body as well as many teachers showed up to show their support.
Each member of the group is a positive role model on and off the stage. It is without reservation that I recommend them for your consideration.
The next time you need a high-energy, positive, entertaining assembly for your students, I strongly recommend that you give Monroeville a call. You won’t be sorry.
Sincerely,
Jerry Lake, Principal
