Music Program Outdoor Support
Funded Jan 4, 2024Thank you all for your help! My students are very excited to use this equipment outside as well as around campus. Thanks to you, we will have less to worry about when we need a keyboard or microphone amplified with this battery powered speaker. It's going to be a wonderful opportunity for them to perform all over, and be able to record their performances as well! I can't wait to show you and our local community what amazing things will happen in our music classes because of the difference you've made! I’ll make sure to take lots of pictures to share with you all, and we are very grateful. Thanks to you all!”
With gratitude,

Marching Percussion Needs
Funded Jul 12, 2023Thank you so much for the marching percussion equipment! The drum line went out and had all matching sticks for the first time since I have been here at East Valley (this is the beginning of my 9th year). It was so great to have all the drummers with their nice, brand new sticks and mallets as they were marching in our local parade. The community was amazing, and the students played some new cadences that they have been working on, and sounded great!
We did have 2 pairs of drum sticks (not the ones donated, but older ones) that broke today before we had even started the parade, so it was very handy to have the ones that you donated to us! We looked and sounded great, in no small part due to your contributions. Thank you!”

Langston Music Room Materials
Funded Apr 25, 2023Thank you so much for the reeds and mouthpieces for the band. While the middle school students have also benefitted, the majority of the project went to help the high school students. Today during our parade I was able to help a student whose reed broke because of your generosity, and we kept them playing. They sounded great and got many compliments from members of our community.
Without your donations, we would not have been able to have the success that we did today, thank you again so much!
Our students are very grateful to you for supplying them with these materials, and they are starting to play with more confidence as well as sounding much better.”
