Keeping Cool
Funded Jul 24, 2023Thank you for helping to provide some much needed upgrades to our ice chests. These have been absolutely invaluable so far this year. My band managers especially appreciate the large capacity and easier to use handles. These have also helped save us in the concession stand when one of our drink coolers died over the summer. There are so many needs and costs associated with operating a band program, especially one that is growing as rapidly as ours. Thank you so much for once again helping to take some of that cost off of our plates. We are so grateful to you!”

The Long Road Home
Funded Aug 19, 2023Thank you so much for once again coming through for me and my students. This marching season was filled with a lot of long road trips to football games, and always having snacks to provide my students took a huge burden off of my shoulders, and made sure my students were taken care of after each and every game. The "snack bags" as they call them have become one of their favorite parts of away games. They're always excited to see what is included, and I always include a little note thanking them for their hard work and dedication. Thank you for helping make sure I can continue to provide this for my students.”

Funded Mar 21, 2023My students were incredibly appreciative of the items they received as we departed for our trip to Florida. They loved having a variety of useful items to help them during the week. Some of them had never traveled that far from home and were so grateful to be given things they might not have thought to bring. The drawstring bags were a huge hit! They used them all week and many of them are still using them regularly even now that the trip is behind us.
Thank you once again for being so supportive of our program and these hardworking students. This trip was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for so many of them, and your contributions made a huge impact.”

Reed All About It! Again!
Funded May 9, 2023Thank you for helping my students get the supplies they need in order to succeed. The cost of reeds (and everything else) continues to rise, and being able to provide these to our students free of charge makes a huge difference. They are so grateful to have access to them and to not have to worry about whether or not they can play their instrument each day.
Our students work hard all year long to be the best they can be. Your continued support of our program allows these students to keep going and avoid any financial roadblocks. Thank you for always being willing to help!”

Funded Nov 30, 2022We are once again so grateful for your constant willingness to help us. Having access to this printer in the band room has made such a huge impact on our efficiency and productivity. My students and I are able to print and make copies as needed without having to disrupt rehearsal or leave the room.
Having a printer in the band room is such a time saver, and allows us to keep rehearsal flowing smoothly. Additionally, the behind the scenes paperwork that comes with running a large band program is made so much easier thanks to this.”

Funded Nov 5, 2022Thank you for always being so willing to help my students and I have the materials we need to be the most successful. It takes such a huge burden off of my shoulders to not have to pay for these items out of pocket, and it also takes the burden off of the students' shoulders that we don't have to charge them any additional fees to cover these materials.
My students and I are eternally grateful for your continued support. We could not function without your help, and we will continue to do whatever it takes to make sure we are always deserving of it.”

Funded Oct 5, 2022Thank you once again for helping my students and I have the most successful school year we can possibly have. I am so grateful for your continued support of our program and my classroom. Thanks to your continued support, we are able to focus on efficient and effective instruction, without having to worry unnecessarily about not having the right supplies. My students are also grateful for having one less thing to worry about purchasing. Your support provides them the chance to focus on their education and not on getting access to school supplies.”

Restocking for Next Year!
Funded Jul 17, 2022This school has been going so well, thanks in large part to your donations that allowed us to restock many of our supplies. As our program continues to grow each year, we are constantly in need of different things to keep us going. Your contributions allow us to provide much needed supplies to students throughout the entire program, from sixth grade through their senior year. This also takes a huge financial burden off of the students and their families, and allows everyone to focus on what is most important - making great music together! Thank you for always being willing to help us!”

Reed All About It!
Funded Mar 24, 2022In a growing band program of over 150 students, having access to a well stocked supply of reeds can make a huge difference in our program's efficiency and success. Thanks to your donations, we were able to restock our supply so that our students have access to reeds at all times. It takes a lot of pressure off the students to not have to worry about the added cost, and it helps keep our band budget clear for other items. Thank you for always being willing to lend a hand and make sure our students are set up for success every day.”

Flipping Out!
Funded Jan 28, 2022We are so grateful for your continued generosity and willingness to make sure we always have the things we need. Since we do five different halftime shows each year, our flip folders are even more important. Having that much music to learn and keep track of can be a daunting task, but thanks to your kindness we are able to make sure all students have flip folders and a place to keep them organized. The work these students have done this year so far is nothing short of amazing. They continue to put in the work every day to make great music. Thank you for always supporting them!”
