My Project

The band students at our High School are some of the brightest, most hard-working students you will ever meet. We are also the most diverse high school in all of North America. This year, we started a marching band, (which in Alaska is not very common) and we will be starting a drum line in the Spring of 2023. We will use the tuners and drumsticks in these new programs.

This donation, would allow us the tools we need to grow our program and ourselves for college-readiness.
