Help me give my students a voice in the band. The singers need a sound system to keep up with the rest of the band.

My Project

These students love music and can not wait to learn an instrument. The singers need to hear themselves to give a good performance. It is also important for them to be heard so the band can keep time together. So the speaker will help students to be able to hear themselves as they sing.

These students need good, safe ways to express themselves and grow.

This will allow those that love to sing a chance to be a part of the band and share their love of music. Some of these kids would not have a chance to experience this otherwise.

Thank you for your consideration.
