International singer, songwriter Shaun Canon, the creator of 'Live for Music' recently wrapped shooting his latest music video which he hopes will strike a chord with kids across the country and inspire them to pick up an instrument.

Canon, who has long been a big advocate for music education and himself a former member of the marching band at his school, knew the direction his 'Live for Music' video should take after meeting with Drum Corps International. "I wanted to create a music video that would motivate students to join their school band, orchestra, marching band or local drum corps. I wanted the music video to highlight the benefits of playing an instrument", Canon said.

After learning about Drum Corps International Canon had no doubt that this organization and its participants needed to be highlighted in the music video. "It's great to be a part of such a fantastic organisation like Drum Corps International. I've been working with them for the past few months and have been highly impressed by the young students and their dedication. Drum Corps International is doing amazing things for young musicians around the country. I am thrilled to support such an organization", Canon said.

"Drum Corps International couldn't be happier to be working with Shaun Canon. He has the ability to reach those involved in the marching music world as well as attract new interest and new people", said DCI Director of Business Development John DeNovi. "We appreciate the video paying tribute to anyone who is or has been in the marching music world. With Shaun's passion and vision for this project we are excited about the doors he can open for both students and teachers."


Many DCI corps appear in the music video 'Live for Music'.
