Jason Sutter will perform Saturday night with drumline at their spring concert. Sutter has played with Foreigner, Smashmouth, Marilyn Manson and Chris Cornell.

The drumline will be having its spring concert this Saturday at Stuver Auditorium at 7 p.m.

Jason Sutter, who has played drums for Foreigner, Smash Mouth, Marilyn Manson, and Chris Cornell will be playing with the drumline.

Tickets are $10, and the proceeds will go to Make-A-Wish Foundation and St. Jude’s, along with Sutter’s appearance fee.

“We donate to Make-A-Wish, because we’ve had past drumline students that have had cancer and beat it,” director Quiyan Murphy said.

This will be the first time Sutter has collaborated with a high school group.

Murphy talked to Sutter at the Percussive Arts Society International Convention (PASIC) about doing a collaboration.

The drumline students are going to benefit from playing with Sutter because it will give them experience playing with a professional, Murphy said.

“I’m planning on majoring in music education,” senior Chad Solis said. “Jason Sutter has been where I am and it’s inspiring to see people that have gone on to do the things they love; it helps me realize I can do that too.”
