Beginning Band Essentials

Help me give my students the essentials they need to be successful this year in band! We just got new instruments, and now we need new books and instrument accessories!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. West's classroom raised $778

This project is fully funded

My Project

In the past year, we just got brand new instruments, now we need new books and accessories to be successful! These books will help us to learn new instruments and be able to provide for the students who cannot afford to purchase a new book or instrument accessories. These will help those who were financially affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. Kids need a creative outlet and band is the perfect one for my group. My students are lively and eager and would love to be able to learn to play an instrument.
