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

Replacing the drum heads for our modern band drummers will greatly enhance their learning experience by improving sound quality and playability. With these new drum heads, students can focus on developing their technique and creativity, leading to more engaging and effective rehearsals.

My goal is to create a supportive environment where every student can thrive and build their drumming skills.

These dedicated young musicians show incredible passion for music, often overcoming personal challenges to participate. Your support will not only provide them with the tools they need but also boost their confidence and foster a lasting love for performance.

Thank you for considering this impactful opportunity!
