My Project

The focus of this back-to-school project is to obtain our new PA system for travel performances with our school band. There are numerous other instruments and classroom materials that will be obtained through this project that will help not only in our general music classes every day but also in our after-school rehearsals, as well as our travel gigs. There are also numerous items that will help with the overall cleaning and maintenance in the music classroom.
