As a large, coeducational public high school in a diverse urban setting offering an IB Diploma Programme, our students often enter high school without musical training, whether in band, orchestra, or chorus. Our urban setting makes it even more crucial for us to address this deficit and provide them with a comprehensive music curriculum. Our commitment is educating, training, and developing their newly acquired musical skills. Our school has a proud tradition of a strong band program. Like all public schools, we have budgetary constraints, which can hinder the development of our young musicians. We are in dire need of woodwind supplies, and as the project title states, Quality Equipment Equals Quality Education. Your assistance will facilitate the growth and development of our young musicians. Thank you for your help and consideration.
