• Help Dress the Marching Band, Again!

  Funded Dec 16, 2024

  Thank you so much donating your time and resources to this project! Now that the band is growing quickly we can look more uniform and show off the school properly. The band has doubled in size this year and has been performing almost twice as much and the kids really deserve to have the beginnings of a uniform.

  The administrators of the school love showing us off to the community and this unification of our look will make the impact so much greater. Thank you so much again for helping this band and I hope you continue to assist the program in the future! Be well!”

• Mixing With iPads for Our Modern Bands!

  Funded May 6, 2024

  We are so excited to start using this wireless digital mixer. As our modern band program and our theater program grows, so does the need for proper sound mixing. In the past we have been using analog mixers of different varieties, all of which have served us well. However, having the ability to step back into the space and listen to students properly, make sure they are heard, allows us to highlight the students' talents so much better.

  So again, thank you so much for all your thoughts, time, and money. We will make sure to use the materials well! Be safe.”

• Help Dress the Marching Band!

  Funded Oct 31, 2023

  First of all, thank you so much for your generosity and willingness to give. We received the shirts yesterday and the students were so excited. They look great and are fitting everybody perfectly. With our upcoming gig at Barclays Center for an NCAA tournament, we needed to look good and now we do.

  Just as important, the administration has seen what the band can look and sound like and is more excited than ever to help the program grow. This is partially because of you and your help. So again, thank you so much and I hope you consider giving again in the future.”

• Drum Pads to Help Keep Kids Engaged

  Funded Nov 29, 2022

  Thank you so much for your generosity. I have been teaching percussion and drumming, and all sorts of loud things for years. Let me tell you the joy of drum pads. They make a room full of drummers have moments of near silence! I can actually speak, give directions, give individual help. Their small size will allow students to take them home and practice if they want! Note, they are soft for the families too so the kids can practice to their heart's content! Again, thank you so much, I look forward to posting the pictures.”

• Brain Food Needed

  Funded Oct 31, 2022

  Let me say how wonderful it is that you were able to help these kids not be hungry in school. Small things like this go a long way in a student's day and having a moment where they can have a snack, refresh their brain, and get back to work quickly is the best. It could also be the difference in a great lesson or a boring one for the entire class.

  The kids were so excited about the variety of snacks you were able to give and also the sheer amount. Now I am hoping they don't get so ravenous that it lasts well into the new year ha!

  Thanks again.”

• Oboe Needed, Please Give It a Good Home!

  Funded May 19, 2021

  Thank you again so much for such your generosity. I honestly wasn't sure if this would get fulfilled but it did and now we can actually begin to build an oboe section within the band! While my students won't be able to see the instrument until the fall, I am very excited and already recruiting my most trusted members to play it.

  And let me thank you all again because I know we are all struggling in these uncertain times and knowing that there are people out there who still value music education and what it can do socially and emotionally for our children is heart-warming.”

• Help Me Prepare Amazing Lessons

  Funded Aug 11, 2020

  This is a turbulent time we are all living in right now. At the moment I am writing this, I still do not know the plan my school is going to implement, don't know how many kids I am teaching, and don't know if I will be allowed to play music in school at all.

  However, having this small bit of access to Teachers Pay Teachers, will help me take a tiny step forward in being prepared and feeling less buried by the work ahead. It is an excellent website that helps teacher share and get compensation for their work. I am very excited to use it and get ready for this coming school year. Again, thank you.”

• We Need Sticks, HELP!

  Funded Dec 3, 2019

  Starting the Midwood High School Percussion Ensemble last year was amazing. We had huge successes with our ensemble concerts, was able to perform at the famous Kings Theater, and had many chamber and solo opportunities that improved the kids skill and love for percussion. With all this though, we have slowly been chipping away at our resources; namely, sticks.

  With all of your generosity we will be able to jump back into our practice sessions with vigor and determination. The kids are very excited about getting some new equipment and are extremely grateful. Again, thank you so much for what you have done today!”

• New Instruments Need Special Reeds!

  Funded Sep 1, 2019

  Thank you all so much for your generosity! The band has had a very strong woodwind program but has always been lacking a double reed section. This is primarily due to the difficulty of the instrument but also because reeds are SO expensive! These additions to the program will make it so much more accessible for all students.

  The tuners are of the utmost importance because tone and pitch accuracy are the foundation of any good music program. Having enough tuners so the students can train themselves properly is extremely important.

  Again, thank you so much!”

• Help the Pit Sound AWESOME!

  Funded Mar 15, 2019

  Thank you so much for your generosity. The program is exploding and now we can have a full battery of Latin percussion instruments for not only our Musical Pit, but our Jazz Band as well! Some of the students have never even seen some of these instruments before and those who have were so happy to have new ones that they couldn't wait to get their hands on them to shake, scrape, and play away!

  Again, thank you so much. With donors like you, programs like ours will continue to strive and thrive!”
