Help Support the Growth of Our Band Program!

Funded Feb 5, 2024

Thank you for your support of our band. We have been making great use of the items that were purchased for our band.

We have been using the JBL speaker purchased at many events. First, we use it at all of our can and bottle drives. We do a monthly fundraiser on the last Saturday of the month. The kids spend 9am to noon sorting cans and bottles that are dropped off at our high school. All the cans and bottles donated are then brought to a recycling redemption center and the school music program gets all the dollars earned. Having some music playing while we are working for those three hours incredibly improves the experience for all those involved.

We also used this speaker for our "Music & Meatballs" event during which the entire department presented both group and solo performances. Students were acting as servers and would seat families to eat a nice dinner while the performances were going on.

The JBL speaker that we were given has great clarity and volume and even came with a wireless mic so it is extremely versatile. Some of the other departments were so impressed, that they have borrowed it and are looking into purchasing one for themselves. We have loaned it to the drama department for rehearsals in the cafeteria and the track and field team wanted to use it for their practices and award presentations!

We also just had our spring band concert during which we used some of the music that was purchased for our band through donors choose. This music was needed since our band has grown significantly and has students who come from a variety of musical experiences. Coming through COVID was difficult for music programs and this is one way we can help accelerate the return to a more normal environment of learning.

Thank you so much for helping us in this way~”

With gratitude,

Mr. Ances
