Woodwinds, Brass, Percussion Oh My!

Funded Oct 29, 2013

I realize the one thing I forgot to budget were ear plugs for the parents. Our students were just on a three week trimester break and I heard from many parents that the kids were hard at work making whatever sound they could out of their instruments. Music to my ears!

Today we started band!!!!! We currently have 8 students enrolled and all four instruments received from DonorsChoose.org have been given out to students! Today was just the first day and already the clarinetist is playing four notes successfully! These kids are so talented, they impress me every day. They are now able to apply what we have been learning in class. The notes on the page and the written language of music is coming alive for them. Their eyes were so wide when they came to that realization today and it's just the beginning!

I believe every student deserves the opportunity to express themselves with music. You have helped a dream come true for these young kids. More campaigns will be published in hopes to receive even more funding and to really spread the wealth to all students in 5-7th grades.

Thank you for everything you have done to make this campaign a success. I hope through my words you can tell how much you have impacted their lives. They will never forget this, and they will have always benefited from your generosity.”

With gratitude,
