My Students

My students are faced with the challenge of putting on great shows for the school community. Our sound system is too weak to properly hear the microphones. We need your help!

We have a great group of students that come from low income families.

They love music! The school community turns out for fantastic shows put on by our music students. The children have been invited to perform at some of our city's top music halls! The students are very talented!

My Project

We need speaker cable and equipment racks to add speakers to our auditorium and manage the sound equipment. The large auditorium calls for long speaker wire and a lot of equipment to make the sound top notch. This equipment will help our chorus, solo singers, band, orchestra, solo instrumentalists, glee and guitar club be heard.

Your donation will make such a huge difference.

Our musicians will be heard! I am certain that the school community will warmly receive the new enhanced shows. The children will feel like superstars!
