Music Battery provides homework help and makes music accessible to underserved youth. Their nonprofit mission is to provide the tools, facilities, support and performance opportunities to achieve students’ personal goals. The Music Battery after-school drumline and strings program, in association with the North Charleston Pops, operate at Hursey Elementary, in North Charleston, but they have also served other schools in Charleston County. Music Battery aims to give the kids something positive to do after school and also teaches discipline, respect and camaraderie.
