My Students

My school is called D. High School. We are located in Los Angeles, CA. My school is 100 percent free lunch and Title 1. We currently only have a bare minimum budget and are just trying to scrape enough money to get by. This band program was re-started last year by me and this is the first year that D. High School has had a marching band in 10 years! My students are excited, and in fact, they wore their marching uniforms for the first time last week!

My Project

Right now, I currently only have about 15 of these books. I have 35 students in each class, and it is ideal for each of them to have their own books. Most of them currently share instruments but have their own mouthpieces.

A lot of students take their instruments home over the weekend.

I need more than just a class set of these books so they can each have their own copy and take them home. I can not just copy the books I have because that is illegal. I want my students to succeed, and they can not succeed by having three of them sharing one book.

The band in my picture is my advanced band. They are very small, but the beginners I currently have are very excited about band. With these books, it will allow my beginners to advance on their instruments faster and my advanced band numbers will increase!
