Once spring semester was over, I was saddened by the ending of the Drumming for Wellness program. Trevor Marcho (program creator) and Dr. Eugenia Costa-Giomi asked me to make a promotional video that they could use at board meetings, to show the university, and to try to make the program continue to happen throughout the upcoming years. First I interviewed two of the patients for thirty minutes each over zoom. I made a transcript for each video and was able to use some of these videos in the promotional videos. I then got some testimonials from some of the graduate students and combined it with videos that were taken during the actual program (with consent of course). I also got to show that transition of the program to zoom during COVID-19 which showed that even during a crazy and unprecedented time, music prevailed.
I think that this video best represents what this program is really about.
