• Provide high school students and staff around the country with an opportunity of close and personal contact with an approachable major recording artist that they, otherwise, might not have;
• Provide a forum for Quietdrive to give back to the secondary education music curriculum that developed their musical talents;
• Provide financially strapped school districts with a no-cost program to provide student body and staff with administration- or club-sponsored appreciation performances.

Depending on the band's and school's schedule flexibility, the following elements may be incorporated into the tailored engagement:

• Question-and-Answer and musical career discussion forums between band member(s) and school band, orchestra, and/or choir classes;
• Thirty minute acoustic performances to student body and staff.

"Quietdrive-in-School" was successfully piloted in large and small schools in several regions of the country:

      "Century High School was ecstatic to bring Quietdrive into our school of around 1,800 students
      in December 2006. Due to facility limitations, the band played their acoustic set to about
      half of our school population as part of our annual charity fund-raising program and then performed
      a song to our entire school body in the gymnasium during one of our scheduled activities. Their
      talents were evident and the students experienced a performance from a top-40 band that they
      would likely never have had the opportunity to hear. The band was enthused to be back in the high
      school setting. They took time to meet and greet with the students and sign autographs. Their
      ability to connect with the students was admirable. The staff and students at Century High School
      were given a once and a lifetime opportunity by Quietdrive."

      "Quietdrive in School" visited Northampton Senior High School in November 2007. The band spent
      several periods conversing with students and signing autographs. Their sense of humor was
      wonderful and the performances for the students were outstanding. One thought that stuck out
      was that they understood that they were in a high school and related well to the students.The
      entire program and activities were definitely age and place appropriate. I would highly recommend
      this group to any school."

      "My High school recently had the pleasure of having the band Quietdrive perform at our school.
      Prior to the actual large group performance, members of the band made themselves available for
      small group question and answer sessions with our high school music/choir students. I am
      pleased to acknowledge that everyone at my school both enjoyed the performance and found the
      members of the band as well as their support staff to be polite and informative. Our entire student
      body received a clear message on the importance of education and staying in school. Based on
      our experience with Quietdrive, I have no hesitation in recommending a similar performance
      for your school or group."

      "I am writing to express my excitement and enthusiasm for Quietdrive who visited Chaparral High
      School this year and treated the students to an outdoor concert during lunch. Though many of our
      students had not heard them before, once they began they drew a sizable crowd from all areas of
      the school. The performance was great and created a new fan base on our campus. In addition, the
      band stayed after the show and met with those who are pursuing a career in the entertainment
      industry to answer questions about their experiences. The hour long session was a unique
      opportunity for our students and gave them valuable insight. We enjoyed Quitedrive’s visit, and
      hope to ask them back to perform at our prom.
