If my project is fully funded, I will buy our drum line new equipment. I will expand our inventory so I can allow more students to participate in the group. It can be difficult in a small school to grow a music program, but I hope that this project will help me engage students in learning and allow me to open the group to other students that are interested. Right now, because of the limitations that my current equipment has, I am only able to accept a small number of students into the drum line. With better equipment, I will be able to give more students the opportunity to participate in this ensemble. I am requesting snare drums, bass drums, tenor drums, and various marching mallets.
