My Project

This is our third year putting together a spring musical in our school community. Every year our audience has struggled to hear the voices of our actors and singers on the stage due to the lack of proper equipment. All of the hard work the young actors have been putting in will disappear into an auditorium full of parents, sibling, cousins, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends and caregivers. Our students' confidence is boosted when they are seen and heard.

A set of speakers and appropriate cables would help our student performer's voices reach the audience.

Our cast has been rehearsing for the past four months and are so excited to perform at the end of the month. This equipment would do so much to lift their voices, increase their confidence as budding actors, singers, and dancers. Furthermore, the audience will be able to bear witness to the fruits of their labor!
