On Tuesday, August 24th, Adam, Cam, Monte, Tommy, and Longineu made a special appearance at the office of DonorsChoose.org, an online charity that delivers materials to high-need classrooms, and Adam’s charity of choice! The band surprised the student jazz band of JHS 278 Marine Park and their teacher with much-needed school supplies.

The band played two songs for Adam and his bandmates. They had the chance to ask Adam about life on tour, what inspired him to sing, and what it was like to be on American Idol. The students were then given a chance to learn the opening to “If I Had You” and received autographed CDs from Adam.

Music teacher Candis Pohl said about meeting Adam and his band, “It was an unforgettable day for not only the students but myself as well. Being able to make this possible for the students was just incredible. I loved seeing those HUGE smiles you saw on the students’ faces yesterday.” Candis is especially thankful that Adam is supporting DonorsChoose.org, “an organization that truly gives those teachers in need what is necessary to make their classroom run to their greatest potential.”
