  Thank you for supporting our classroom with a beautiful new chairs so that my students can look and sound that absolute best that they can. As we start to prepare and plan for the upcoming school year, our concerts will be that much more elevated with the look of our uniformed chairs.

  Being a part of the music program can be an integral part of a child's education. Studies show that being involved in music can only help the overall education and progression of a child's schooling. I am honored to be able to give them that opportunity and so grateful that you have helped to play a part in that.

  On behalf of myself and my students, thank you!!!”

  Thank you all so very mush for helping to create a positive, fun and professional learning environment for our wonderful scholars! Because of you, we were able to have the BEST winter concert EVER last week!

• Reed(y) for Beginner Band!

  Funded May 11, 2023

  Thank you so much for gifting my students with all of the tools and essential items needed Beginning band students go through reeds like you would NOT believe... to be honest sometimes I don't know how they do it! The good news though, is thanks to your generosity and support we had enough to make it through the year! Our students didn't have to worry about having to purchase reeds on their own they always had enough to aid their learning process.

  Our concert was a wild success and the confidence these kids performed with was so great to see. We appreciate everything you have done for us!”

• Sittin' and Sounding Pretty!

  Funded May 11, 2023

  Thank you so much for improving our elementary beginning band at our school! Our fifth grade band scholars were able to go from sitting in mismatched chairs, borrowed from all different classrooms to beautiful brand new chairs that are actually meant for band!

  With these chairs, their posture improved, their tone improved but most importantly their confidence sky rocketed!! They felt, having unformed chairs specifically for them, gave them more purpose and made them look even more professional.

  At their concert when they were all dressed up, the chairs escalated our performance and really took it to the next level! On behalf of all of us, THANK YOU!!”
