My Students

Our music department is booming - we're at a point where all of our classes are literally overflowing with a diversity of students. Students range from complete beginners with no previous experience to students playing since a young age to those in top honors ensembles.

Regardless of experience, what makes our music students stand out is their hunger and thirst for new experiences.

Students can choose from a variety of classes including Keyboard, Guitar, Beginning Band, Beginning Strings, Advanced Band (Marching and Concert Band), Percussion Ensemble, Mariachi, Chorus, Chamber Choir, and AP Music Theory. Other extra-curricular groups include Pep Band and Jazz Ensemble.

My Project

Our room is lovingly known as the "Band Room" but it houses five different classes EVERY DAY. This project supports various students in each of our classes.

The supplies requested are ESSENTIAL to our growing musicians - without them it would be difficult to perform on their individual instruments.

These items include: Strings for our Beginning Strings class and Mariachi Class; Valve Oil and Trombone Lubricant for our Beginning Band, Mariachi Class, and Advanced Band; Reeds for our Beginning and Advanced Bands; and Percussion accessories for our Percussion Class.

As you can see, they are not 'wishlist' items, but supplies that are needed to maintain the actual instruments themselves. Please share and contribute if you can!
