To whom it may concern, Recently, the students and staff at Bowdish Junior High School had the opportunity to experience an all school assembly with an entertaining, positive message provided by Joel Brantley. Joel entertained students for a solid hour with his history of Rock and Roll. His engaging and energetic style endured himself to students as he involved several students and staff in his show. He captured students with his music which set the stage for a positive, well-received message. Throughout his show Joel talked with students about personal experiences and choices he made that contributed to his success. Students listened to his message of "stay in school, and stay away from illegal drugs". His message was genuine and very much age appropriate for middle level students. I would not hesitate to recommend Joel Brantley as a quality performer with a quality message for students. Our students enjoyed his show and benefited by his message.
