  • A Hodgepodge of Music Supplies

    Funded Jan 1, 2025

    On behalf of all our music students, I want to extend our deepest gratitude for your generous donation of supplies. Your support means the world to us and plays a crucial role in enriching the musical experience for our students. Thanks to your kindness, we are able to ensure that every member of our program has access to the equipment and materials they need to excel.

    Your contribution has not only provided us with essential supplies but has also inspired our students to strive for excellence. The marching band is more than just an extracurricular activity; it's a community where students learn the values of teamwork, dedication, and perseverance. Your donation has helped to reinforce these values. Having essential supplies goes a long way in ensuring our students' success. We are truly grateful for your support and commitment to our program.

    Once again, thank you for your generosity and for believing in the potential of our young musicians.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Sikorski

    On behalf our entire music department, I want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your generous donations of supplies and tools. Your support has profoundly impacted our students' musical journey, providing them with the resources they need to explore and enhance their musical talents.

    Your kindness is inspiring, not only to our students but to our faculty and the community as well. It's heartening to know that there are individuals like you who understand the importance of music education and are willing to invest in our future musicians. My students have already enjoyed using these tools, allowing me to teach them new skills and the importance of maintaining their equipment.

    Thank you once again for your incredible generosity. Your contributions will continue to resonate within our classrooms, on stage, on the football field, or wherever our performances take us.”

  • Keep It Clean

    Funded Jan 5, 2024

    Thank you once again for your donation and for supporting our music classroom! We have received all of the materials already - which is awesome! The tissues and hand sanitizer were used immediately as we have been out for the past few weeks.

    The individual hand sanitizers will be used during marching band trips throughout the year. We are all stocked up on these essentials and my students greatly appreciate being able to use them!

    Your generosity has positively impacted over 150 students and made their school day just a tiny bit nicer. : )”

  • Drums Happen

    Funded Oct 11, 2023

    Thank you once again for your generosity and for supporting our music classes! My percussion students were quite excited to be able to get another snare drum stand, practice pad, and new sticks. We were able to immediately put the stand to use, allowing more students to be able to work on a snare drum on a daily basis. These materials will last for many years and benefit our classroom for a long time to come.

    In addition, as an item on our list was not available, I was able to order some band-aids - which are a much-needed item in every classroom! Happy holidays and thanks again!”

  • All Hands on Percussion

    Funded Jun 16, 2023

    Thank you once again for your donations earlier this year. We have received all of our percussion materials and are putting them to good use. The new instruments have replaced those that were in poor shape and no longer working as they should.

    My percussion students greatly appreciate your generosity in helping them have the "tools of the trade." The world of percussion is especially complex, as students must learn how to play many different instruments. Having quality instruments that work correctly makes this process much less frustrating and rewarding.

    These instruments will be in use for many years and will serve our band program well! Thank you again for supporting music education and my band students.”

While not the most exciting materials, these are necessary for both our band rehearsals and numerous percussion classes. Instruments are too small and/or are in need of repair; we also need a few more instruments to ensure all students can participate in percussion ensemble music. I have seniors using snare drums that can only go high enough for a 10-year-old! Both sets of bongos have broken heads and our marimba has only half of the bars that are able to function. When playing as an entire class for percussion ensemble, there are not enough instruments to cover all of the parts. This causes some students to not be able to participate. My goal is to get every student in the class playing and sharing in the experience of making music together. Those are the times when the most learning happens, with everyone actively participating and working together.
