My Project

Our musically-inclined students have done an amazing job inspiring the rest of the community this year with our great community day performances. We have also grown, now, to the point where we just have too many different kids playing in one band! We have most of a spare drum kit which would allow us to run three different groups all at once, but we’re not quite there.

Help us set up the band class to run three groups at once, and there will be less “waiting your turn to play” in band!

We just your support, more kids will be rocking out at CSS than ever before.
