Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

As we take the next step toward professional stage performances, we need a high-quality amplifier, microphone, and boom stand to ensure our sound is as full and clear as possible. The Orange Super Crush Amp Head, paired with a Shure SM57 microphone and TAMA boom stand, will give students hands-on experience shaping and balancing live sound, helping them prepare for real performances.

One of the biggest challenges we face is hearing ourselves on stage.

In our 496-seat auditorium, vocals and instruments can get lost in the space, making it hard for performers and audiences alike. Right now, we transport practice equipment from the fourth floor to the auditorium, setting up and breaking down everything before and after each show. A dedicated performance amp and microphone will not only improve sound clarity but also simplify setup, making it easier for students to focus on their music instead of logistics.

Music Club started nearly a year ago, and in that time, we’ve gone from a small group of students experimenting with sound to a growing community of performers. We hope to expand our performances beyond school-wide events and one day host dedicated music, theater, and dance productions. Your support will bring us one step closer, giving students a powerful performance setup that makes their hard work shine. Thank you for making this possible!
