iTeach Music
Funded Apr 2, 2024Thank you for the opportunity to have access to a new device! So far, I have used this device to create mixes for our show choir, and plan on taking it to our big professional development conference weekend conference! This device is allowing me to create better experiences for my students, and to be able to continue educational opportunities!
By utilizing the iMovie feature, we have been able to cut parts of songs, and join them with other parts to create a seamless and flowing show. This process is absolutely free on the MacBooks preinstalled software, which makes life easy.
I am awaiting our big professional development conference where I can use the computer to take notes, and to download presentations that are being reviewed - along with many other tasks. This will be a game changer for my teaching and my students.”

Funded Oct 28, 2021The new music stands have helped give students access to their own personal space when playing their instruments. Having new equipment gives the program a much needed face lift, but it also helps the students to experience a sense of pride in their materials, and in their program!
After teaching the students to properly care for the stands, it was quite funny seeing them race to class to make sure they got one of the new stands. Also, an investment like this shows our students that we care about them and their high school experience.
Thank You!”

Snacks for All!
Funded Dec 13, 2022Thank you so much for your help in funding this project. I really am grateful for all of your support. Our students will now have access to nutrition that they may not get at home. For a lot of students, school is the only time they get wholesome meals, and this will set them up for success.”

High School Band Moving to Virtual Performances...Please Help!
Funded Dec 31, 2020Thank you so much for your help and support. We were able to use our audio equipment, and the school continues to use this equipment. We utilized the audio equipment to not only boost the sound for the cameras to pick up, but to help with marching band as well. This equipment is very effective for band and choir performances and we are happy to share our equipment within our department as needed. The kids really enjoyed having this, seeing that they did not have to over-play their instruments to be heard. Ultimately we were able to have a better sound and more accessible concerts.”

iTeach Music
Funded Dec 27, 2021Thank you all so much for your support. This new tool will help me give my students a “21st century” education.

Safe Band Camp 2020
Funded Nov 7, 2020Your generosity has made our marching season not only possible, but successful! We were able to keep everyone safe by providing individual music folders, instrument sanitizer, and other essential items.
Our students (and their parents) were thrilled that we had everything we needed to keep these students safe. From the depths of our hearts, Thank You!
Despite the many challenges of operating a marching band during the COVID-19 era, we had NO sickness and We did not have a spreading event within our organization. Thank you for providing safety and peace of mind to my students, parents, and myself.”

Funded Jul 4, 2020Thank you for all of your support! We could not make this year work without you all. My students were getting to the point where they had no extra reeds and were getting worried. Times are hard for everyone right now and they understand that their families may not be able to afford a $5 or an $8 reed for their instrument. With your help, we are able to alleviate that stress and worry and provide all students in need with a reed. THANK YOU!
When the students first seen the new reeds they were truly ecstatic! There is nothing like playing on a new reed after using the same old reed for weeks!
My students are now preparing for our first "virtual" concert and District Honor Band - and event where our students can show off their talent by competing with students from across the state.”
