As a new band director, I finally get to fulfill my passion in life and start creating a band program that will be successful, win awards, go on fun trips as well as provide a diverse musical education with different opportunities for students to learn instruments, perform in different types of ensembles, and gain achievements worthy of a college resume to pursue music scholarships. Starting a band program is hard, but it is even harder when we have to start from scratch with no instruments, music, or equipment. The goal of this project is to fundraise enough to be able to offer any student interested in band an opportunity to play an instrument, and for our program to have the instrument available as part of our inventory. Your donation will contribute to our program and give students in need an opportunity to change their lives through music/band. Thank you in for your contribution.
