HOW MANY WILL BE FROM YOUR SCHOOL?

While there are many programs for drug prevention, the statistics have risen to alarming heights. This clearly states the need for new and creative ways to communicate with our young.

WHO CAN REACH THE TEEN

In most drug education programs school officials, policemen, students and parents are usually invited to speak. But, who do the KIDS listen and respond to? Whose name is on their tee shirts? On their lips? THE MUSICIAN. It's the Musician that dominates their conversation, influences thinking and in some cases controls their actions.

YES TO LIFE

The "Yes to Life" program features popular rock tunes from the Fifties and Sixties, combined with an anti-drug message that includes thought-provoking question-and-answer sessions and conventional teachings.
