Keep Up The Pace!
Funded Oct 1, 2010On behalf of the our band program, I would like to offer my most sincere thank you! Your financial support has helped our band program obtain several items that have long been in need for our percussion section.

Through your contributions, we purchased the following equipment for our percussion section.
2 Marching Bass Drum Stadium Hardware stands
Each of these drum stands will alleviate the lower back pain our bass drummers experience on Friday night football games.
3 Pearl Mountable Trap Tables
Each of these tables can be mounted to any of our mallet instruments to hold additional auxiliary percussion instruments. The ability to place the auxiliary instruments within close proximity of their primary playing area will enable more efficient and accurate instrument changes. The use of these tables will be used throughout marching band and our concert seasons.
1 Innovative Percussion SB-1 Single Stick Bag
This new snare stick bag will replace our old bag that has been held together by duct tape. A small purchase, but desperately needed.
1 Innovative Percussion CC-1 Concert Chime Hammer
Another small purchase, but this chime hammer has assumed a major role in our bell themed marching band show, entitled "Let Freedom Ring."
Our students realize that they will be competing against some of the best marching bands in the state at our upcoming State Semi-Finals (and hopefully Finals) performance in Tampa, FL. As their instructors, we work hard at providing our students with the best quality instruments and resources that we can afford. Unfortunately, arts programs such as ours are neglected from a financial standpoint. Your generous contributions have made a positive impact on how our students perform, but more importantly on the pride that our students have in what they have been able to achieve.
Thank you for your support of music education, and the leaders of tomorrow.”
With gratitude,
Mr. Denaro
